Default LS with boost question...

How many pounds of boost can an LS handle with forged internals but NO resleeving??? with a hondata of course...would 14psi be ok for the track and 9psi on the street?

Mine popped at 13psi, tuned by myself. I have raced against an LS tuned with Hondata, stock everything at 20psi. Tune well my son...

I will have forged pistons and rods though, with hondata 2b with massive amounts of tuning and I won't run 14psi except at the track once a month or so
you think it'll be safe

my plan is to run 14psi on STOCK internals(hense why im so interested in him popping his motor).. with forged pistons/rods u should be fine, the only weak link left is the sleeves. but I have no direct experience, im only basing my judgements on what ive seen/heard about other people doing.
