Default lunati internals

i have a 02 ls1. i am going to put a sts turbo kit on it. i was wondering how much boost these lunati kits can handel. i am looking at the 8.5:1 383 kit. and i was curious if anyone knows how much boost the can handle. or how much power i can put to it safely.

btw please excuse my typos. i type fast and mess up alot. lol

if you know you mess up a lot, it takes 10 seconds to go back and thoroughly edit the post.

the lunati kits can handle just about anything you can throw at them, within the laws of physics.

Lunati internals is a bit over kill for an STS kit.
Why not use the eagle components. Theres nothing wrong with them, they cost less. Spend the money on a better turbo kit

im getting hooked up with an sts kit from shane. also it would be hard for me to get a better kit for that price. it would have to be custom. i am cramming alot of boost in my motor and i dont have enough room to put the turbo anyware else.
