I recall Jim spraying his with 12 on a very good tune. He worked his way up. If you're speaking of the LQ4 motor, it is lower compression so it can initially handle more.

8 to 10 pounds of boost with stock internals, with air/fuel in the 11.5 to 11.7/1 range. The #7 piston's ringland is the one you have to worry about on the LS. Bob
