Default how many pounds of boost?

Hey everyone.. hope all your builds and cars are turning out well..
I have made up my mind and have decided to go single cam on boost.

I have a D16z6 in my 94 civic si coupe and im curious to know roughly how many pounds i can run safely in the STOCK motor.. i was thinking 6-8 cause im not planing to go crazy fast and it will be my daily driver.. maybe just here and there i will punch it when i get it tuned..

Please let me know your suggestions of what you think..
Your help is greatly appreciated.. Thanks

It all depends on the amount of power it is making, not boost. There are about 8 million threads asking about boosting stock z6s so look through them.

Anyways, plan on 200-250 whp being the limit of a stock z6 with good tuning. An average setup on a D gains about 10hp per psi, so around 10 psi usually gets about 200 whp which is a good spot for a stock z6.
