Max Boost

So there are many pulley combo's out there with a lot of ten second cars. so the question is "How much boost will these engines tolerate on a daily basis" ? Aside from needing a map clamp of course and heat issues.

Ask yourself this would you push a engine with weak rod bolts and glass pistons ??After a certain amount of boost I would worry about the heads lifting too.Dont push this engine past 15 psi daily on pump .

E55 C63
aka 70mm SC pulley is the limit, or stacked setups:

180 - 83 =
168 - 76 =
70mm SC

headers can help drop the boost pressure

15 psi or less to be safe UPD 77mm will produce that
