Default 4.7 v8 question

Got a buddy with a 4.7 v8 ram that wants to boost it with the lightning blower conversion how much boost can these motors handle in stock trim?

Shouldn't have a problem holding 10 psi if the setup is intercooled and is properly tuned.

it will not handle 10psi with stock pistons the ring is to close to the top of the piston at 10psi its going to blow it after not to long. it may handle 5psi anything above that is asking for trouble with the stock pistons
