How much boost

How much boost are you running on the street? How much boost is safe given that the motor is a fresh rebuild with proper felpro gaskets and ARP rod bolts. I will be running a compound boost setup w the sc and a remote turbo. Should the blower be ported and does that drop boost levels with ported sc heads and larger valves, so I could run more boost with the turbo? Also all components internally will be forged.:confused:
 
they are good motor's factory! only thing that should have been done is balancing which if you are getting a rebuild. talk to xr7 dave he sells them blue printed and balanced as well as any custom parts. pistons etc. your stock motor is good for about 550-600hp I believe. I think you are good for 20-25lbs of boost providing your motor is in decant shape?
 
I will be getting my internals, valves and cam from dave d and a double ic from ken. Thanks for the reference though. Very helpful people on this site. Can't wait to move my family up north and start this project. I think I have finally got all of my ducks in a row. So many possibilities with this car.

I'd start by feeding the supercharger 5 pounds and go from there.
