how much can she handle?

hey fellas, lookin for a little help for a noob!
I just got my engine back (d16z6 arias pistons, shot peened LS rods, block guard, turbo cam, DSM injectors etc.)
how must boost could this handle?
I'm planning on having it as my daily driver... (whats a good level to boost at reliably?)
thanks

umm well probly not more then 6 to start off, if your using the stock map sensor, then I doubt you can go higher then 10, chip your ecu with a 3bar GM map sensor and hit 12-15, if your crazy.
