I would guess the breaking limit is somewhere around 25-35 PSI based on the power produced.

of course more than 15 PSI is going to lift the heads and push the gaskets out...

I understand the blocks crack around 450-500. I was just curious about forced induction. I'm looking to supercharge soon.

Listen to cam302. He has a lot of experience with boosted fox bodies.
