I don't want to spend a bunch of $$ on a tune, only to find that it either doesn't make much power, or is too aggressive and causes an engine failure.
Nor do I want to build a motor and fuel setup, if the blower is running out of headroom to take advantage of it.
I think everyone has been pretty informative, and all their answers seem pretty reasonable to me.

the reason I say that folks don't like the answer is that this isn't particularly robust engine, it was engineered for 200Bhp and it needs a reasonable level of work to get it to take boost reliably but when you have tuning house etc kits coming on and saying we make 400bhp on the stock bottom end then this confuses the 1st time poster / newbies
so the question keeps cropping up, mainly because the stock chassis is so good
after all the 1st thing you think when driving an '86 is this thing needs more poke
