increasing supercharger kit boost safely

hi all -
i have a dinan kit with stage 4 software for my 97 e36 m3. i have a nice spearco ic in the garage that i am debating on installing or not. if i install it i think it will be time to turn up the boost - what is the proper way to do so? how much can the stage 4 software handle - when do i need to go to stage 5? do any further cooling methods need to be taken if i am intercooled? the spearco flows 400hp and is a good sized front mount. let me know what you guys think.

Good luck putting the pipes together with the dinan kit. There really isn't any room, but give it a shot.

You could probaby run 11psi pulley, just make sure and check the a/f when your done.

do other kits provide more room? i know a guy with a dinan kit with one in - i'll have to check out his setup.

you think the a/f will be ok without any change in software, despite the increased airflow and higher oxygen count??

on bimmerforums there is a guy with the name Paul E. he has a stock Dinan kit running an 11psi pullley and he only put water injection on it. It runs great and pulled 340 rwhp. Search is name you will find tons of info on adding boost to the Dinan kit.
