Max Boost on stock engine with SC
searching for max boost has on stock engine. I did the search but my eyes are spinnin from the off subject things im reading so please assist if you have solid answers.
I have an 02 vortech SC w/ aftercooler running at 11.77lbs of boost @ 8400RPM cutoff on the stock head as of now. What is the max boost i can safely use as this is my daily driver. The car was tuned by church automotive testing and shawn church says once i get my RC 650 injectors put in he can tune me up to 14lbs at 9krpms. He says ill be at about 420-430hp. Am i pushing it? Any input will be helpful. Thanks in advanced!!!

Alot of a boosted daily driver is how you drive it but more boost will always tend to shorten the lifespan. 400 hp is quite a bit for a daily driven, high compression engine

AFAIK the vortech is a 5th injector setup. When you move to larger injectors, do you ditch the 5th supplied with the kit?
