I only had trifectas budget tune and it hits 24 psi....Be careful though...the tranny can't handle this torque for very long. Mine went a 66,000 miles. Others guys have had better luck

I bought the car with 35,000..Tuned it with superchips at about 45,000, and then trifecta at about 55,000. I am at 70,000 now with about 4,000 on the rebuilt tranny. The bearings in the planetary gear can't handle the stress (torque). I drive around untuned for about 75% of the time now.

Other guys with automatics have run theirs pretty hard with better luck...
