Default Question about boosting my Ls

Ok here's my situation. I'm about to purchase a complete Greddy kit (yeah I know some of you don't care for Greddy but its good enough for me) that comes with an Intercooler, Injectors, all the piping, the mani and the turbo, etc.... I'm going to run that on my stock Ls (without upgrading pistons,rods,etc... ). What boost should I run and what sort of HP would I be looking at? Later on down the road I am going to upgrade pistons and rods. Any recommended info on brands would be great fellas. Thanks.

Joey.

i wouldnt push the stock internals much past 250whp on a daily driver. to make 250whp with a greddy kit is going to take quite a bit of boost also. id also look into upgrading the fuel and ignition managment if u want the motor to last.

Id say to go with Uberdata and just tune it to about 250-260whp with some 450cc injectors, then call it a day til you can afford to build more... Although, the Greddy kit doesnt really give you much to build off of....
