Re: how much boost?
It's said that a standard n/a engine will take 6psi. But, it needs to be solid in the first place or you'll just blow past piston rings and valve seals otherwise. You'll need a standard cam too as I believe forced induction doesn't like much overlap.
You planning on running it through the KJet? I'd increase fuelling somehow and fit a wideband lambda to monitor the afr.
