Default hp levels for dm race girdle?

so im officially going boost and want to go ahead and use my stock ls1 block and make it a 383 . the ? is how many lbs of boost can this thing take all internals forged obviously but at what power levels should i consider buying a girdle like the one at dm performance should i just go ahead and get one to be safe or do i really not need it?

You may be better off selling your working LS1 and using that money to get an FE block if you plan on cranking up the boost.
