Red face Safe amount of boost without meth?? whats up

Im sure some of ya seen me posting up things asking for info. I have searched this and didn't get squat... I am in the process of getting a forged 370 together.. I am going to run the stock crank, paired with callies rods, prob diamond or ross pistons... I am undecided on comp ratio, but thinking along the lines of what a stock lq4 is or maybe a lil less, is this doable at this particular boost level???.. I want to run about 12-15ps. What kinda power is this good for along with a cam, nice heads???.. From some of the reading I have done, it seems that kind of compression and psi is ok, doable... Will meth be a must?? This kind of psi is alien to me, along with meth..... Don't grill me I am still looking, learning and reading on these things, but would like any insite and good info on it, my general idea thus far on the engine...

Thanks for any and all help

I'd like to know aswell. Having had a nitrous acciden't and blowing a motor I would hate to have the meth quit on me and go lean. The psi at which meth is recommended would be nice.

Yes i am going to see what it can do.. So far I am more then happy with my 1800$$ investmant.. I can only imagine what another 5psi and a better set up will bring. Just need to see about boost-compression, the whole meth thing. I really don't want to run it, but well see..

should be ok runnin 12lbs. or so with pump gas as long as the compression is right and the fueling is there for it. Im no expert by any means on FI but I would have to believe you could pull 12lbs anyway without much of an issue. I would think thats most likely on the safe side
