Default What boost to run?

Just picked up a 2001 WS6 T/A with the mods listed as follows-
K&N High Induction System, SLP 90mm MAF, SLP Bellows, MTI 75mm Throttle Body (ported & polished, fuel heater bypassed), SLP Headers Long Tube, SLP Exhaust Y-Pipe,Trans-Go Shift Kit (4L60E), Borla Exhaust System, Power Exhaust Cutout, BK Performance Transmission Cooler, SLP Springs/retainers/guides, Motive 3.42 gears,American Racing 17" Torque Thrust D Rims (9.5" front, 11" Rear), Mickey Thompson ET Street Drags 315/35/17, slotted & cross-drilled rotors, Hawk Brake Pads, Random Technologies Torque Arm, SLP Trailing Arms/pan hard rod/sub-frame connectors/strut tower/manual fan switch/Draw-Tight Hitch Assembly, MSD Spark Plug Wires, NGK Spark plugs, Vigilante 3200 Stall Torque Converter, SLP Line Lock, MTI High Wall Tension Pulley, 7.5in TA Stud Girdle, Optima Heavy-Duty Battery, ECU custom programmed by MTI to Match Aftermarket Parts

My plans are to put a ATI Procharger on it and eventually a moser 12 bolt. I want to put on the LSX Fast intake but was wondering if its really worth the money and if I should opt for the 78mm instead of the 90/90 setup being that I already have a aftermarket t/b on it? ($$$) Also I keep hearing that the stock internals will take 8psi no problem with the D-1SC. I was gonna get the P-1SC and put on 5psi, maybe 7psi max being that I want a reliable cruiser and not trying to break any records or my car for that matter. If the engine go's in the future though it would be nice to have the D-1SC on it to build a serious boosted motor??? I thank all the gurus in advance!

Go with the D-1SC, and 8 psi of boost. That is how we set them up, and with a good tune you won't have any problems. I'd install an LS6 intake instead. This 740 rwhp C5 has the LS6 intake, stock maf and stock throttle body.

Here is our price for the D-1SC kit, and everything that is required to make it work.
