Not sure if I'm getting all you're saying however:

Stock LT5 can handle around 5 psi. HP and TQ gain is outstanding for this small amount of boost especially the area you gain under the curve.

You can run higher but care must be taken or you'll push out the head gaskets. Ask me how I know...

There should be an old Dyno Graph post somewhere here the website. When I get home I'll look on my old harddrive.

Cheers,
Ron
