Yes thanks for pointingthat out ( i had read it )but is that a safe amount to run ?
I want to know the standard figures so i could set it to safe amount.
Not got any knowledge of these engines and just want to be on the safe side until i can save up for an Andy Forrest power fc and map.

At 16psi (1.1bar) it should be fine as long as the fueling and ignition are taken care of (which they should be for that type of chip) and the octane rating of your fuel is sufficient for the map. If you are going for a PFC mapped by AndyF, it might be worth dumping the piggyback chip until it's done, if you have doubts about it's reliability?
