Why under 25? Can damage occur to the Vp if it is higher that 25?

so 10 is as low as you want to go. does it hurt anything if you go to 8 or 9 psi.

It shows a start of what is to come $$$$... Keep it above 10 at WOT and you will be golden.

I forget the exact number but was told 2 years ago or so that too much pressure is bad too.
