Default Full boost on a TC78 or similar?

I'm currently working on getting my car dialed in and was just wondering what others are seeing for when they hit full boost on a TC78 or equivalent sized turbo on a 347? Or if anyone can tell me when I should be at full boost that would work as well. I'm currently set to run right around 12psi.

I'm not looking for an exact number of course but just curious. Thanks ahead!

So your asking how much boost that turbo would make on an ls1, or what kind of power you should see at 12lbs?

Hmmm Ok I just read over my post again and you're right it's confusing... sorry about that.

What I am asking it more about spool up, at what RPM should I be reaching "full boost" at the 12psi level i'm currently at?

The reason I ask is really because of tuning. Right now I can't take the car out much past 5k rpms because the tires break loose. I have some MT ET streets going on the car this weekend though so hopefully that takes car of that issue.

My car with a M6 and TC76 hit full boost at 2500 rpm in 4th gear. Same deal with my 76GTS, spools just as quick.

Wow that is quick! Thanks for the info man, this helps me out with some tuning and getting my manual boost controller dialed in.
