Default safe or not

is it safe to run boost on a completely forged internal 4.6 from a 96 with stage 3 ported pi heads comp 274-H cams springs and stainless steel valves. it iwill have modmax forged H beam rods, kellogg forged crankshaft, and manley forged pistons the thing that gets to me about the problem is the compression it is 10.5:1 and i know that is high for boost, but i wasnt sure if it was still bad since the crank and rods and pistons with the block are capable of 1000+ hp

Sure you can. You will have to run meth injecton, or some serious type of intercooler. A very specific tune will have to be made to keep from it detonating. Keep the timing down, and you'll be cool.

That C/R sure would love some nitrous tho!

The internals will be fine... But very precise and reserved tune.
