Some of that also depends on the offsets in the tune. On a 383 a 24 can be capable of keeping the DC under control @wot (using 43psi).......however once above that 396, 402, 406, etc. thats where it all changes real fast. Those builds will need a minimum of 36 and up.
The typical on-line calculators are quite conservative (even when using a bsfc of .5, and 43. psi) when compared to real world tuning/in the car.
