Anyone see any issues or concerns with turning it up? What boost levels do you all have on sbe? Or should I leave it at 8 pounds and just get the tune for e85 without turning it up?

My 2 cents?
Go look at what a short block costs. If that that amount of money is acceptable to you, then turn it up. If the number upsets you, keep it at 8psi and on e85. I took my stuff apart after running 8lbs for a short time and found cracked cylinder walls and decided to rebuild then. Can't say if that was from me or age of engine. Some people have been able to beat on these engines all day and do incredible things while others such as myself found the limits very quickly. Just be prepared is all I'm saying. My friend is at 12? lbs with SC and e85. He seems to be doing fine for now.
