You will be fine with the entry level kit. Even 12-14psi is fine, just make sure the tune is good and have fun. We have run 18+psi on a stock short block with out a problem in the past.

your stock bottom end has forged pistons so if it had reg oil change your in good shape i would put 10 pounds without intercooler 12-14 with intercooler and r meth.i run 10 on a v1 stock 95 shortblock(forged pistons)and a 50 shot of nitrous no broken parts yet.(just #5piston from to much timing,no tune or retard device.now i have fuel 1+1 increase with boost and a box i can pull 1-3 degrees timing per pound of boost.either get a fmu(i know yall pro tuners dont like them but they do work)or just set fuel pressure around 60 themn under boost you will still have fuel if you have a 255 forcen induction intake pump and have fun.im burning chips for sc set up
