That is a very general question...it depends on alot of different variables. Turbo/Supercharged? Plan on using methanol or just straight pump gas only? The final boost number will depend on the compression, the lower the compression the higher the boost number and vise versa.

A million pounds of boost! Tuning will determine how much boost can run.
