Default P1SC without meth, how much boost?

I am running a P1 on my 2000 Z28. Mods include full bolt ons with long tube headers, speed density tune, yank pt 3800, 317 heads, custom blower cam, siemen 60 lb injectors, racetronix 255 with hotwire kit, 4.5" procharger dual intercoolers, etc. I am running 6 pounds of boost with my 4.0 blower pulley and 7.25" SDCE crank pulley. This is a street build so I will NOT be running meth. How much more can I safely go without running meth? I also have a 3.7" blower pulley sitting around but I wasn't sure if I could go smaller and be safe?

What's the reason for no meth? You say because it's a "streetbuild" and that doesn't make a lick of sense. Meth is perfect for the street! Cooling effects and octane ratings like racing fuels without the cost! I run 75/25 meth/water and run duel 10gph nozzles. In 10 months I've used 5 gallons of my meth mix. Daily driving it most of that time. I strongly suggest you rethink using meth.

When I say a street build, I am saying that I drive this car on the street pretty much exclusively. It may go to the track 1 time in 5 years. I don't know of any local place where I can get meth. I know meth can do wonders. It isn't something I want to mess with. I know this will limit what I can do with the car, and that is prefectly fine. I rather make 500 hp without meth than 800 hp with meth. I want to put gas in and go along with routine maintenance such as oil changes, etc. If meth is needed I will probably take the P1SC off and run a mild heads/cam setup.
