Na, I'm running 18 psi on cool days as we speak, after
the water injection goes in this weekend, I'm hoping
to crank it up to about 22 psi or so.  Not that it
will do me much good with my crappy stock EM, but I'll
also be doing some seriouse porting on the collector,
so that should help.  The limitation your probably
refering to is in the stock fuel system, it kind of
runs out of steam around them.
