Default how much boost

I was looking at the sts kits and wondering how much boost a lq9 can take. I might be getting a vho and I think this would be cool. I know they have some for the ss so I was just wondering. of course if I did do it it would have meth injection and stuff. I am thinking around 10 psi or something. anyone have any HP# TQ#?

Jerry jsut talked to jonathon and he mentioned your truck. he said he is running 10lbs of boost on his ss. What we talked about is doing the dual stage boost controller so I only put out 5 psi normal driving but when I ma racing or whaever turn it up and it activated the meth injection. I thought that would be pretty cool. Now we willjsut see. thanks

Nothing wrong with that. It's better to plan ahead than to rush into it. Keep us posted when you do get it.
