Question Boost Capabilities

How much turbo boost can the bottom and top end of my stock ls1 handle. I'd like to get an sts turbo system for my 99 ss camaro. If anyone knows let me know. Thanks!

10 or less with a great tune. 11 or more at your own risk.

You should be asking how much HP & TQ will it handel not how much boost..... Boost is just the measure of how much back pressure in the intake manifold....

Stock LS1 should handel 500hp & TQ..... You should upgrade the springs amd pushrods as a min....
Good luck
