its not the boost so much as the power the stock internal can hold which saldy is around 400-450rwhp depending on who you ask. 10psi would be my max if you want it to live.

I have heard of the stock eatons going 15 to 16 psi, but you are going to have to seriously beef up the internals if you want to go that way. To get the eaton to that point you are gonna run a big ass lower pully and have to port the eaton. I would still bet it would only get around 13 to 14.
