that depends on the 'stock' motor...

Cam, compression, heads, age, ect...

That's pretty abysmal. That low CR will tolerate a fair bit of boost, except for the cast pistons and tight ring gaps.
I'd stop at about 9psi or so.

Everyone I talked to recommended against boosting that engine. That included Summit and engine shops. To do it right with that engine, you'd want to change the pistons/rings and the tiny cam too. But, by the time you change everything, you could've had a better engine built from the start.

perhaps it's for future reference, it doesn't hurt to learn. better to ask than to bomb an engine. beside, 9 psi isn't bad at all if you're just looking to put a little kick in a daily driver, although I'd be a bit more conservative myself for an added durability factor
