With the tune dialed in and a healthy S62, you should be fine.

I remember some discussion way back about Dinan testing to about 10 psi, and it held up fine in testing; he simply backed it off a little because he was going to mirror the BMW warranty.
And we have had 10 years of development. With a good tune, and everything else in the motor having been gone through so it is in excellent shape, I agree, 9-10 psi should be OK.
Jason drove the car to an M Atlanta meet last night. The car drove great, nice and smooth, no hard shifts or driving yet though. He also said the clutch point was anything off the floor. *eeps* He also said if you didn't press the clutch firmly to the floor, it would be tough getting it into gear. Is that typical of the UUC kit? Any way to make it better?
[Edited, there isn't any adjustment, make sure the clutch pedal is being returned fully to the top of its travel so that you are getting the full stroke onthe clutch MC] IIRC, you have a minimal amount of adjustment of the pedal itself so you can get the clutch MC to be at full stroke off of the floor, but I am not 100% sure and it has been a while since have been under the dash on my car.
I am sure the guys a BIP will sort it all out before you pick up the car
10 psi I thought you wanted this thing to be fast?

I can't speak to the UUC clutch (you might want to contact Rob, the owner of UUC at the UUC website, although Rob is/was a member here), or how it was installed, but new clutches generally have a low (close to the ground) release point. As they wear, the release point comes up. One way to tell a worn clutch is the release point at the very top of the travel.
If the low release point doesn't come up a little after a couple of hundred miles, I would be concerned.
