RE: how much boost?
12 would even be fine on a stock bottom end, so long as you're not pushing 450+ to the wheels. the psi isn't what kills our engine, it's the power that it gives you. 
yes, now i have a built block, but i was hitting about 11psi before i did all this and now i have a 3.10" on and i'm hitting 13psi.

once i hit 16lbs on a stock bottom end and it was fine.... normally i would hit 10-11 psi.... it runs fine with it.. i have a 3.33 inch pulley....... you probably have like a 3.6 or 3.8 inch pulley...

also.... why do you stop at 5500 rpms? sounds like you have a 8psi pulley... it will make 8 psi around 5800-6000 rpms...
