Well if you got a kick *** ring package and an oiling system thats up to snuff 15-16 psi seems the norm.

If you aint got any kick *** ring package to take advantge of the pump then your fine where your at.

If stuff aint full tilt anything over 12 psi is not gonna be forgiving on the wrist pins.........and there is no reason to go higher.
