I would suggest at the least when you rebuild it put in some good pistons+rings and some clevite 77 rod bearings. The you could run 10psi safely.

On a 3L, rings on the 3L pistons are WAYYY diff from the stock ones on a 2.5ler. . .I think 10psi is MORE than enough, wavdr like he said was posting 13's WITH a boost leak (what, maybe 6 psi?? then). . .I'm putting a manual dual stage boost controller for 10 and 15psi. . .
