7 to 10 psi is pretty safe providing its tuned good.

I had a supercharger on my ed a few years back and it was running up to 12psi for 2 years before I turbo'd the same engine..

a decent intercooler and a really good tune will keep it safe..

Was reading through your old thread on the ED, that was an awsome looking car!
