no higher than 10psi (if using 370cc inj) unless you have bigger injectors and a tune

and no an SAFC is not concidered a tune

Run what the tune is set for, you can't just go and up the boost and think that a tune set for 6psi will be safe for 14psi. Get a wideband and make sure shit is in check. You should be fine as long as you're not leaning out. This is pretty common knowledge and I feel you really shouldn't be messing with boost if you need to ask this question. Also, this has been covered a million times, next time search.
