There is no yes or no answer to that question. You'll be better off thats for sure.

There are many people running your boost level, on a stock block. I personaly run 15 psi on my stock block. So can you, absolutley, will it hold, yes, for how long...... thats the question.

i think you will be fine. at least you are putting some effort into tuning/dyno

there are people who run on basemaps or just running fmu's thats just looking for trouble

Psi is irrelevant. It's the amount of power you make that matters. You can easily make 250whp on a stock block if tuned properly. Alot more has been done than that, but I wouldn't say it's completely reliable for daily driving.
