All the boost.

It really depends on fuel. 93 or E85? E85, turn it up 22-24 psi. 93, keep it under 20.

KB has a formula which is based on blower RPM not boost. I calculated mine out to 26psi at 6500 rpm is just under the 18000 blower RPM max.

I had a 2.6 and was on E. 22lbs/3.00 griptec pulley, the blower was fine but when I went to 24lbs, the IAT'S went up 15* on avg. Every 2lb increase from 18lbs it went up 5* So 20lbs was +5*-22 another 5*, then when I hit 24lbs, it jumped up 15*. Just wasn't efficient at that boost/blower speed.
