Default What should one be spiking to with stock ko3's...20?...21?

i just wanted to find out since im going with the giac x chip and mbc+tcd soon. i thought 17 or 18 psi were pretty high already but ive seen a couple other people say they are spiking at 20+psi and was just wondering if this was safe to do and if it would yield any more power and/or effect boost at redline.

....when it *should* be spiking lower due to the more dense air.

Default i was on apr race with 100 octane...

but my fuel injectors were bad so i was losing some power up top. i also had my damn EDL on since i didnt know about it before and launches were suckin even though i did cut a 1.8 60ft for that run.
