well i read an article in muscle mustangs and fast fords that they put a turbo on an all stock 5.0 and ran 10 to 13 psi and it ran good making 433 hp to the tires and 500 some ft lbs. of torque and the motor had over 200,000 miles on it so you should be okay but of course forged internals is always better.

R.barn is right, it is all in the tune. I'm running 8psi now and man it is fun but just like everything else you get used to it then you want more.
