I'd say no, you'll over boost. Need a tune to run a boost pill.

No you will overboost. Get a tune!

GST's free Basemap tune will work perfectly.

It's easy, and its the cheapest go-fast mod we have. I spent $18 USD on the boost pill, and $169 USD on the tactrix, and I couldnt be happier. Running GST's most recent 93 oct v2 tune. I've only pushed a 13.8 @ 99 on the 1/4, but that was with the 91 oct v1 tune, and it's much better than the 14.2 @ 98 on the 1/4 I was running before.

Since that run, I've reflashed to 93 Oct v2, and installed an Evo X FMIC... so I'm anticipating slightly better results. Might get a drop in filter too.
