20psi on stock internals? I think that would be pushing it, thats like adding close to 200hp. Correct me if I'm wrong but i don't think it could run that much on the stock bottom end, valve train, etc..

I'd play it safe and take it no further than 8-11psi... and definitely keep an eye on everything so that you can catch any symptoms of problems before it becomes a serious issue.
