hard to say. depends on how well taken care of it is. i'd say you'd be good to 14 or so lbs of boost. what kinda #'s are you making right now?

It depends on compression, octane, timing, and IATs. Sometimes more boost and less timing will make less power. IATs are a huge player in this equation. Pump gas is another major limiting factor.
