If I did a TT conversion with my 11:1 pistons, I was wondering what the maximum amount of boost that could safely be added?

Max boost would be around the time you hear ((((((BOOOOOOOOOOM))))))

With 11:1, I'd be afraid to run over about 5 on premium pump gas. Maybe 8 on race gas. You should be able to degree in the cams to bleed off some of this compression but it'll only end blowing the boost right past the exhaust valve. 11:1 is really to high to effectively boost unless you're running alcohol.
