high compression, hyperutectic pistons, stock rotating assembly unfortunately doesn't = longevity for most
there are some guys here that have been able to make a stock lt1 live on boost for a long time but i would probably say the majority have had problems

do yourself a favor and pull the motor and rebuild it for boost

As long as your motor isn't an extremely high mileage motor, and it has been taken extremely good care of, you should be fine to run it on the lowest boost setting. I would get a compression test done before you do anything.
