max boost in a 2002 before internal replacements
 
as stated in the title, what is the most amount of boost you can siphen into an engine Via supercharger befoer you have to replace rods, heads, vavle springs, crank, etc. also what all would need to be replaced if one goes higher than what the normal engine can take?

I'd like to do just about allt he work to my soon to be stang on my own, and internal parts are things I dont want to mess with on my own. so how much can the engine take before I have to get someone else to prep and install a SC?

From experience, If I was just starting out, I would only be looking at kits which offer an intercooler setup.
That said, the maximum amount of intercooled boost I would put on a stock internal engine is 8 psi. Any more and you're takin your chances....

so more or less you suggest start small, before I more or less rebuild the engine out of forged titanium and run some odd 45lbs of boost. sounds good, isnt the V2 a 6 lb from vortech? and what of procharger. hell what does everyone else run, PSI and brand!
