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?

first how much power are you looking for and how much boost will you be running? second will it be a street/drag car or only drag?

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.
