depends what turbo you are running if it will make 250 on 7.5psi but 250 is safe i ran 298whp for about 7 months no problem and it all depends on the tune really stock pistons love to crack ringlands

Just finished my little brothers car, on completley stock b16a, VP Q16 race gas, precision 680cc injectors, garrett t3/t4 57 trim stage 3 wheel, drag style cast manifold, AEM boost soliniod (to do boost by gear), GM 3bar map sensor, Tuned on Neptune by Cortney Green, made 413hp on 22psi.
Your HP goal and engine longevity all depend on the tune.
Granted my brothers car was pushed more to the extreme than what most people would try. But his is a strict drag car. We did this so he has something to race while he waits to finish building his new block.
Last year he was on 8psi and made 289hp and ran 12.5's, or he could turn it up to 13psi and make 350ish hp.
