You will not hurt the rods due to 40psi of boost pressure. Keep in mind cylinder pressures can reach 3000psi...

The RiffRaff map fooler just keeps the PCM from seeing over 22psi so it does not defuel.

i don't think you could get to 40 psi with a programmer and stock injectors.

the boost fooler will not cause that, youd need a wastegate or a very very controlled foot...
