I think you are forgetting the 750 injectors. Go with the higher boost.

Thats the biggest issue with FI.
If you go to 10psi on stock compression in theory say== 350whp 220tq
if you go to 12psi you need to add a 3mm hg for tuning ability and you go back down in compression even with the higher psi say 330whp 210 tq
So the only way to go from 10 psi without a hg is to go to 14+psi with a thicker one.
I know it may get flamed but its the only way it would make sense to go over the recommended 10psi max on a stock hg.

Mine Hit 332 with 8psi so with 10psi you should get around 375 and 12psi close to 400 right

Its possible at 12psi on a stock HG if the whp increases laterally with the increase in psi.
I would just have to trust my tuner alot to go into that range.

My point is 12psi with a 3mm HG is about the same as 8psi without one.
