Denali Whipple Build
I am in the middle of a Sierra Denali Whipple build, the truck is a 2009 and has the L92 motor. My question is how much boost can I safely run on the motor without having to worry about any sort of failure, I was hoping to run around 10-12 Psi boost. Its going to be my daily driver.
TIA

The other add ons to the truck are Texas Speed VVT-1 Camshaft, rods and springs, LS3 Ported heads, Texas Speed 1 7/8" Long tubes, ARP Head studs, trunnion upgrade kit, Walbro 450 pump with return style fuel system and aeromotive regulator, and bosch injectors.

What happens if you end up with a bit more? Can timing be backed down enough to compensate for too much boost or is it just a bad bandaid?

on the 2.3L Whipple that I ordered yesterday for my 09 Sierra Denali the stock pulley from Whipple is 3.625. I am having them change it to a 3.00" from the get go, according to the tech I spoke with at Whipple a 3" pulley is what I am going to need to run around 9psi boost to compensate for my long tube headers and the Texas Speed VVT-1 Cam.
