Can the LS3 handle even a 5 psi boost? The Mustang has a 9.6:1 compression ratio whereas the Camaro has 10.7:1. It seems risky to boost on such high compression no?

I'm curious as to the streetability of the LS3 with the +50 hp hot cam. Surely this would be a cheaper option than a blower, but can this still be a daily driver?
