5s-fe's are 9.5:1 compression.
setup looks very nice, i'd say tuning it yourself will help save, but being the 5s is pretty sensitive to boost, you might want to get someone to fine tune it, but for 7psi or so you should be okay. i never got finished with my old project camry, would have been similar to yours. is yours an auto or 5 speed?

Bingo.
Right now its running really rich, but as a precaution i retarded the timing under boost. This friday im getting it tuned at XAT. Here are some more pics.
Ive cleaned the red a lot, still removing a good amount. Im going to sleeve loose wires and make the whole engine bay black/silver.
