Default Powerdyne on a 408??

Ok my 408 is running 11 : 1 compression and Im spraying it at the moment. Could I safely run a Powerdyne on it at around 6-7 psi?? If so how much power would it make if I make between 460-480 right now on motor?

11:1 compression + boost = motor go boom. keep sprayin it... if you want to go the FI route, then rebuild the motor with lower compression pistons and/or big chamber heads.

Ok so say I bumped the compression down with larger combustion chamber heads, how much would I be looking to pick up with it?? I know alot of people dont like them but they are cheap used.

I'm thinking 1psi at redline The blower is in no way big enough to drive a 408.
