The block can handle as much boost as the 4 bolt per cylinder heads can handle. Meaning, you'll push out a head gasket first. Bob

IMO if you are asking about the LS2 block and boost, your on your way to a Warhawk or LSX

Normally around 20 psi of boost or so. You'll want heads with thick decks such as the ones from AFR. Check out this build where we used a new LS2 block.
