Maximum boost I can run?

Here's the engine specs https://ls1tech.com/forums/vehicles-sale-lsx-powered-only/275116-fs-1999-camaro-ss-382-stroker-turbo-dynoed-538-hp.html

I want to know what you think the maximum boost (psi) I could run on the engine with an intercooler. I want to know what these aftermarket engine parts could handle.

Btw, these heads are not fully ported like it says.
Thanks

A lot with forged internals....as long as you aren't knocking I'd say 15 easily, probably more like 18 or so....just a guess though, wait for an expert to chime in.

Don't think 15-18psi seems little cause on a LS1 with the right turbo it would be like running 25+psi in a supra with a big turbo.

As for now the car has the stock STS 60-1 turbo but in a month or so I'm gonna get the GT70 turbo.
