Default 2014+ Boost Level

What boost level can we safely run without having to change injectors or install LT4 pump? Im at 8psi and it's not enough for me.

I'm not sure what 8psi output would be in wheel power.

I saw 10.37 on 1 pull @ 442 hp 471 tq. and its on stock everything. That was when the blower was still relatively cool. He dialed back the timing just a hair after that pull.

What size engine? Stock crank pulley right?

With a 5.3 you need a 2.80" blower pulley for 10psi.
With a 6.0 you need a 2.55" blower pulley for 10psi.
With a 6.2 you need a 2.50" blower pulley for 10psi.

Mulitply by 25.4 to get the pulley in milimeters.

Not sure how small they make them, but a OD crank pulley would help you out a bit.

If it doesn't feel that good maybe something in the tune. I would think it should run pretty good where it is. Take it to the track and see what it mph's. That will tell you something.
