good bost limit for my setup...

just wondering what a good boost limit is on my current lt1 setup.
diamond forged -12cc pistons, scat 5.7" 4340 rods, gm forged 3.48 crank, 2 bolt mains with arp studs. will be around 9.5:1 on 64cc heads. btw, piston to wall clearance is .0045" thanks

i would just tune it and see how much you can get. that will tell you your limit basicly.

The bolded parts are your limiting factor. I would say stick to 10-12psi max and you'll be ok. Its all in your tune. I dont see 550-600rwhp being a poblem at all depending on your turbo of choice.

So you already have the heads at 64cc? Might be tough to open them up more. If you havent bought them yet, order the 72cc (or 74cc????) head to start with.
