Default Safe boost??

Looks like my compression ratio is ending up around 9.1 to 1. I know it's not the 8.5 to one everyone seems to shot for..

What would be a SAFE boost level to run??

Thanks in advance..

You running an intercooler? Meth? What type of piston? 9.1 should be good running about 12 or so psi and still have a decent timing curve. =)
