I've pushed 20lbs on accident a few times when I first was dialing in my boost controller. 
How much Boost can the intake manifold take?
I'm planning on getting an LQ4/9 and if it has the truck manifold I'll use that for a while or if it doesn't I'll buy this LS3 manifold I saw for sale with injectors and rails for $300, but I've heard that for boost applications it's preferred to use an aluminum intake and elbow to prevent the intake from fracturing due to the increased pressure.
Once I completely finish my build and get it tune I'm hoping to run a max of 16psi at the track.

Traction will be me problem I know but hopefully a boost controller so I can run low boost in the street will help with that.
balloon intake... I inflate it to 20 psi no problems...
your concern should be the heads, save your self money, time and a lot of work, and finish your project quickly, just get a set of thick decks heads minimum of 5/8 thick, 3/4 is best...
