Need some advice, going max effort

I'm in the process of building a shortblock to compliment my Procharger. I've got Absolute Speed stage II LQ9 heads and MTI R1 cam. The shortblock I'm building will consist of the Lunati 382 kit. My final compression ratio will be around 8.5:1. I'm having the tops of the pistons coated by HPC and the block will be o-ringed. Right now I'm only getting 6#'s of boost but once I finish the motor I'd like to get at least 12, if not more. Any idea how much boost I can RELIABLEY run with this combo? The car is in no way a daily driver but I do drive it on the street alot so I'd like to stick with 93 octane.

Re: Need some advice, going max effort

I would say you can run about 10 psi no problem on the street. however that motor is going to want alot more then that. What are the specs on the cam?
