I have to agree with spike. The thing you have to be concerned with is the Compression Ratio.

5 psi with the static CR will be safe reliable and a ton of fun.

9 psi with an inner cooler... That is on the edge of reliability and I would be nervous every time I went WOT.

But, I think if you understand that you can go either way.
