It can take 7 to 10 psi with stock internals.

there is never a definite answer. it depends on the condition of the actual engine in question, headgasket, compression, and oil consumption should be the main determining factors. and of course the tune.

do a comp test, get an oil pressure gauge, invest in a good tune. 6-10 should be doable.
