nobody can really tell you this. You need to get the a/f checked on either a dyno or with a wideband sensor to know for sure.

According to the SRT4 forums those with Stage 1 boosting to a maximum of 18 PSI are safe as long as you are dropping to 15 PSI (or below) near redline. Boosting past 18 PSI will only net you less HP since the computer pulls the timing way back.

You should still visit the dyno with a/f readings.
