30? Wasn't the link about a 20 PSI build that wasn't a drag queen, i.e. some street ability but likely that snail has an A/R sized near its thermal limits but I have no idea about that mapping, just talking basic theory here.

As pointed out, rather then talk about PSI its more a question of relative power levels (peak torque which is where things go boom from pushing the limits of a stock rod etc...).

So we have a car that is pushing what, over 3x wheel torque from stock form? That's quite a lot. So we need an engine over built from the factory. A good over build would see say 2x increase in a reliable form (think older 2.0 DSM, Older 2.0 Subaru, Supra, Mazda B6/B8 to name just a few)

This is uncharted waters for a NA subaru engine. Anyone running over say 10lbs best have a good AAA account

Finally, not trying to hate on people who are excited to go in a strait line. Saw many a person get wood over running 13's in a hondas back in the 90's when my preference was to go around tracks fast. Wanna go fast in a strait line? Go get a Mustang or small block chevy which is a reliable package to stomp on 40K modified Toybarus. Sure you will have to go aftermarket for some gold chains and Just For Men mustache coloring kit but those are small expenses to pay for those fast drag slips.
