Default How much boost are you running on stock LS2s?

Hello guys, first post hope it's ok. I am just looking to get an idea of what the Corvette crowd is doing for boost on these motors. I have an 06 GTO with a P1 running 12 psi (at the rev limiter) and put down 648 whp with basically the blower, injectors, BAP, Kooks and an alky kit. The GTO crowd seems to be more cautious and advised agains anything over 9 psi. I have had good luck with my setup, up until the other night when I got greedy with timing. I think this can be a reliable setup and have seen some incredible numbers here, I know some of you are still 10.9:1, how about others? How many are running 10+ psi with a stock compression, stock bottom end? I have personally seen other people running around 13 psi with no issues also. Just figure there is more experience here, so I'd exchange notes with you guys. Thanks.
Joe

Have seen anywhere from 5 to 10+ on here. Have not heard of any issues so far. Ill will be upping mine to about 9 lbs as soon as my new pulley comes in.

10 psi on my stock LS2 with a cam/springs via turbos . I'm aiming for 15 psi next season with the help of some low compression pistons.
