Arrow What is a safe amount of boost to run?

On a stock 1998-2002 LS1 Camaro what is a safe amount of boost
to run on these engines with a supercharger?
What supporting mods are most important to install on these engines
when installing a supercharger?

Just an opinion, but I would say no more than ten. Fuel upgrades are the most important. Most failures seem to be due to lack of fuel. Then comes driveline issues. Axles, driveshaft, tranny output shaft, clutch, etc.

From what I read on LS1 Tech is to run no more than 8-10 psi. of boost on
the stock LS1 engine and get a good tune.Big fuel injectors and a
bigger fuel pump is a must! Good info though a stronger aftermarket clutch
is a must have etc.
