 Yes. You'll want to run higher octane fuel to avoid detonation. On the bottom of the product page it recommends it. 6-7PSI of boost is a decent bump on stock internals.

You'd want to run premium gas at least.  You can get race fuel at some sonocoes (then again I like 5 minutes from a drag strip).
