If you can run a intercooler on that setup, you will be fine

i would stay around 10 psi with stock bottom end, and 9.5:1 is about the highest compression you wanna run with a forced air setup so 10 psi might even be a bit much

good thing you posted all your specs before you asked the question , id still run around 10 psi, and you may need to run a different head gasket if it becomes a problem which it might with 9.6:1, a MLS head gasket may be a good investment (if you dont already run one), adding the meth will give you some horsepower gains as well, but there is some caution to running water/meth (windshield washer fluid) vs running pure meth, as water is corrosive but usually not a problem from what i have seen personally i have just heard of it corroding internals, just something to watch for

meh ill just take your word for it , id say your pretty well set ultimately its up to you how much boost to run but 10 psi seems a good safe number, you can also take the SN off the supercharger tag and give pro charger a call, tell them your running at xx altitude with 9.6:1 compression and you were wondering a safe boost for pump octane, they will crunch some numbers etc, and get back to you, altitude has another role to play as well since barometrics have a huge impact on boost
