i have an LS1 outta a 2001 formula with 37,000 miles that im fabricating in my 94 camaro, am i safe with stock internals running LS6 heads, cam, intake 80mm tb, headers, underdrive pully and a tune not to mention my 8-12 Lb blower is this to much power for stock internals

I would keep it at 10 or less. Intercooled of course. I have been running 10 psi for many months now with no issues (stock bottom end).

You will also need a better fuel pump and larger injectors as you are most likely pushing close to or more than 500rwhp, you are probably running out of fuel at that level. As the others have stated, you dont want to push more than 8lbs on stock internals. If you have another engine laying around than go for it.

LS6 heads with more than 6 psi is usually a no-no.

10.5 compression compared to a 10.1, I guess you could just pop on thicker gaskets on right?

^ me talking about that is like talking about a pap smear so don't bark at me if I am a bit off.

I just know that 6-6.5 pounds are the numbers all the Z06 guys throw around, that and I know I have to go to something called a specialist to get a pap smear...

Can't believe they don't sell that over the counter...

this may sound dumb but it is there a difference between supercharger psi and turbo psi? is one more harmful than the other so to speak?
For example is 8psi on a turbo compared to 10psi on a supercharger? i know its not psi that makes a difference just curious
