Default how much boost can I run

With stock crank and rods/ forged dished pistons, how much boost can I run safely

I'm planning on new main studs, rod bolts, and head studs too.

anything else I need to upgrade?

well I'm planning it, so all of that is still in the planning stages,

I'm thinking stock cubes (maybe a clean up hone)
T70, or T76 turbo

Fuel system: don't know....whatever it takes

Swap out the rods while you are at it, and you can run 14 psi without any problems with the stock crankshaft. Callies compstar rods aren't expensive, and we have never had a rod failure with them. Bob

From what i've been able to gather the stock rods should be fine unless you spin them high. It's the stock rod bolts that seem to fail.
