Pushing water question?

I have an AES built LS engine, studded block with the trickflow LSX heads. I have a 98mm GT- 55 turbo on it. What do you guys think the max amout of boost I can run before I start pushing water?

I always thought around 22 was the limit on good head gaskets and studded block!
