What should I do to protect my new engine?

I don't "want" bigger injectors, I am just wondering about increased safety in case of boost creep.

I have been looking at the RTEK 1.5. Is this a good way to protect the engine? It retards timing by 1 deg for every 1 psi over 9.

Also, it gives the injectors an extra 5 % max duty cycle. <-- does this mean that if you do encounter boost creep, it will help you run safely to say 10 psi?

What is the max guage pressure that I should be concerned with? Basically at what psig should I be getting out of the throttle?

Thanks!
