It means more investment if you want to go big with this car,...stay at 10psi and below you should be fine stock. Also what should be noted is the Crawford car horsepower numbers are crank not whp....
The only two things which are relevant:

1) How much fuel flow do you need through the rails?
2) How much fuel can flow through the OE rails?

Do you have answers to these two questions?
