Default Procharged 5.3

Hey guys, new to the forum. I have a tired old big block that sucks gas in my camaro, I was thinking about procharging a 5.3l. Can someone help me out with this. How much boost will a stock bottom end on a 5.3 hold? Has anyone ever done this, or is there an easier and better way than procharging? What numbers can I expect from doing this. I have a 3500lb street car and I would like to get it in the 10's and still be able to drive it on the street. But I am on a budget, Efficiency and reliability is key. Can anyone give me a little more insight on this. Thanks
