8 to 9 psi safe on a good tune... idk about hp prob in the 250whp area im guessing... the b motors stock internals are good for like 350 whp so im kinda jus guessing about a sohc's limit lol... but id say my numbers would lean a bit on the safer side of the spectrum if anything... but honestly a y8 on psi would be strong, a good tune is key tho

250 is on the high side, but is do able. Most of the cars that come to the shop to get tuned that are stock sohc's leave with between 190-220hp and have lasted years. There are a few rare occasions when we see a 250hp pull

i ran a edelbrock kit on my d16y8 for over a year at 9psi with no problems, gave it alot of stick too...

from what I remember there is a little issue with oil starvation at higher rpms. those who know about this usually take the oil pump off and port the holes to allow better flow.
