My bad, it was Kemist- so that is still really high boost. Do you seriously believe its ok to run 28.5 psi safely on 91 octane? It seems like you have kind of been missing the point of this thread... I dont want to run higher boost (30+psi) just to make numbers... and with that in mind I wanted to know how the BBK/Red/Tomei performed at around 28psi using crappy 91 octane and meth/water mix....

We have run as high as 43.6psi on the red with methanol injection.

Depending on the competence of the tuner, coupled with a more efficient turbo as you have which provides cooler charge air at the same boost levels as the stock turbo and yes with suitable ignition timing you could feasibly run those boost levels without methanol injection.

I'd say based off what you seem to be looking for, go with the BBK. It will cost as much as the red, but at the level of boost you plan on pushing through your motor, the lag with a red isn't worth it IMHO.
I considered this before I bought my BBK. I wasn't planning on moving big air through the motor. Max to be around 28-30psi on e85 or race gas. Right now it is base tuned around 24psi, and it drives damn close to stock, spooling about 300rpms later. With some fine tuning, it will spool near to a stock IX turbo.
