Default boost on stock motor???

hey guys, sorry im brand new to the mustang thing, i am currently trying to sell my 11sec honda and get a fox body mustang. i love these cars. I wanted to get some feedback about some boost questions. how much boost can a stock motor hold??? are the internals on the 5.0 forged from the factory??? also what is the comp. ratio on a stock motor??? also there is some guy on here selling a twin turbo kit for 2grand, is it a good deal???or ****ty like the ebay ones??? https://mustangforums.com/m_4113346/tm.htm i look forward to hearing all of your feedback. thanks for your help.

stock is about 9-1
stock will hold 10-12psi no problem.
for 2k for used I would just spend another $1k for new

10-12psi will have you running 11's all day long on bone stock motor.

That kit looks very nice and is a good deal for twin T-70 kit
but is overkill for 5.0 and would be real laggy. Notice it was coming off a stroker?

That turbo kit def. has me thinking..what supporting mods have to be done to use a kit like that? Bigger throttle body? MAF? Would the stock intake work decent? Ive always been a N/A guy so I dont know much about this.

Will the motor still be reliable though...under boost? Thanks.
