Default How Much Boost???

I have a 2002 5.3 RCSB Z71 It has several mods right now Edlebrock Headers, CUstom Tune, 42 lb injectors, 255LPH Fuel Pump, Flowmaster Exhaust, Powerdyne Supercharger running 9 PSI, Corvette Servo, Shift Kit. I was wondering what the maximum amount of boost that you would consider safe on a stock bottom end. I am currently at 9 which is the smallest Pulley that Powerdyne offers. But I am a Machinist so I thought about making one but I dont want to mess my truck up. Any ideas on how much would be safe. Also if anyone needs some custom parts made I would be glad to let you know if I can do it, I am only a manual shop with no CNC equipment.

2.93 is good for 6 psi,
2.70 is good for 9 psi.
2.50 is good for 11 psi, and I would not go any smaller unless you had the XB-1A.


too bad you do not live in my area, their are some things I want to do and I do not have the equipment to machine it out.
