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

hes telling you to search and you will find the answers your looking for. Most say to keep the z6 under 220hp to be safe, I would just talk to your tuner when your ready and let him decide what he wants to push out of your setup.
