thanks for the info btw 
how much boost on stock internals
how much boost on stock internals how much boost can a stock internals lq4 handle? ..... safely. I dont want to add a meth kit and the car is gonna be mostly street driven so i want to run on 94 oct. or less. what kind of psi #s have you guys used the cr. is 9.5:1 Thanks in advance for any info
hmm good one......... 
that was on an ls1 that i blew up hence why i went with the lower comp. and bigger ci of the lq4. i was planning on going forged internals next winter but i dont want to screw this motor up in the mean time seriously it shouldnt be too hard of a question .......... Trending Topics

thx man your right about trying to stay safe after i blew the last one the car was down for 2 years before i grew the kahonies to put a new motor in myself i just couldnt justify the 5k price tag the mechanic quoted me and that was for a ls1 motor with unknown mileage
What kind of fuel? I have been curious if you could do 10 on pump gas.
I usually run 10psi as well and even up to 14psi on 93octane fuel no meth. I do have 317 heads though.
My buddy has higher comp heads and is going to run 8psi on his aps kit. Its all in the tune.

Buddy of mine has a turbo on his Silverado SS. Stock he had it as 12psi until one of his pistons gave up (#8 go figure). They think it was due to a bad tune. He now has it rebuilt to stock specs with slightly lower compression 9.5:1 and it running 10 psi I believe.
BOSS APPROVED!
Definition of How much Boost vs How much Horsepower vs How safe....sure you can run boost till you peg your guage (at least once) What kind of horsepower are you looking for? if you can make you goal at a lower PSI then it will be safe,(providing you have a spot on tune) say app 500 RWHP @ about 7-9PSI. but if you need to make the same amount of HP @ 12+ PSI then the Grim Reaper is just a loud pedal away. Beware of people running an X amount of boost. Their geographical location makes a difference, altitude, air density, octane ect. Just be realistic and know all the "OTHER" parts that will need attention as the HP & TQ go up, Clutch and or Convertor, Drive Train, Fuel System ect. It dominoes very quickly.....
