Hopefully there is more left in this system
Well it's something like 280-290 at the crank currently so 40-50% more than stock, and they did say it's probably not safe to go higher. Lower compression pistons would reduce the peak pressure and let you have a little more probably, but those would have to be carefully designed as the fuel spray is guided by the piston bowl. It looks like that thing is pushing about 0.7 bar boost, I'm guessing you could go a tiny bit higher with methanol injection or something to cool it off a little, but the limiting factor is probably the peak pressure and consequently force on the rods.
