Default how much boost?

does anyone know how much boost a 04' mach1 can take, i have a vortech pushing 8psi and now i just bought an intercooler and water meth, i was wondering if it would be safe to run 12# of boost??

don't quote me but i'm fairly sure the mach's have a higher C/R....10.1:1 or something. that said i would think 8psi was pushing it non ic'd or no w/m. it all depends on your a/f ratio...since i don't know where your at now i can't help. regardless it something that needs to be done with a wideband o2 with a datalogger...and for most people a professional tuner and a dyno

its intercooled with water meth and dyno tuned for 8lbs, what i was wondering is can a mach1 handle 12lbs if tuned or is that pushing it?

I dont know about a MACH, but my C/R is 9.5.1. I'm at
10psi and no I/C. I would believe 12 psi w/ I/C and W/M
you should be good to go. The W/M alone is good up to 20 psi.
