Default how much boost would you run???

i have a 383 with ls6 heads so my compression is round 10.5-1 and i just bought a d1sc with a fmic and was wondering what the most boost i should run with a speed density tune?

Forged bottom end on that 383? If yes, I wouldn't think twice running 8-10PSI. The key to this is the tune. A good tune is the key to reliability, especially considering the slightly higher than stock CR.

Cam lsa is a little low you'll bleed off some boost with that.
