The stock manifold will take more boost than your shortblock can.

really depends on the setup, tune, and how high you rev it. im over 600 and see as high as 12lbs. a friend is running 14lbs on a stock shortblock and saw 700 but turned it down a lil. i dont rev much past 6k though, not sure what he does. other people's motors have let go at much less and others have gone much higher.
