Default How much boost

Well guys I been doing my research and im getting close to ordering a trick performance turbo kit. My mods are 224r tsp cam, hardened pushrods, dual springs, detroit locker, and my built 4l60e with a yank 3000 stall from chuck at FLT will be here friday. Im wanting around 450 hp at the wheels is my goal. Im going to run meth injection just for some extra reassurance it wont go boom. Could I safely run between 12 to 15lbs of boost on this setup or should i run lower boost such as 10 to 12 pounds and maybe run a 75 shot of nitrous. Anything will help. thanks for the input ahead of time

15lbs will net you A LOT more than 450 at the wheels...

10-12 psi is safe and will easily get U to 450 500 rwhp with that setup

Youll get way more than 450 with 12-15 pounds.. But ehh that 4l60 is gonna be a ticking time bomb

Today on pump gas no meth stock internals only turbo ,intercooler , 50lb injectors and tune did 442.5 hp at the wheel 9 lbs boost. I would hope that you would walk all over mine with 12 lbs and the work already done.
