there is only one way to find out!
The problem is you might want to have a 5.0 block in the works with a forged bottom end because when it goes it wont be pretty. I like N/A for this reason you can abuse it more.
Turbo sure would be fun to mess with for a while

But he said "Not hard on the motor" lol! 15 psi on his old stock motor the head gasket would probable blow right out in minutes

No doubt that it would do that. That's what i was getting at though was he would probably be plenty safe with only 8 psi on it. Boost is like a bad drug, once you start, just can't get enough. Just like the speed bug, once bitten, it's a rash that keeps itching for a lifetime.
