The guys at ECS make a lot more power with stock LS3's, but they always run meth for protection. To answer your question, Ed is one of the tuners for HP Tuners and if he says it's safe, it's safe.
Interesting, if you look at the "equivalent boost" charts (which differ based on formulas) I think that 12 lbs on 10.9 static compression is gonna be really high, like race gas necessity high. Would love to understand his method of making it safe for you.

I'm adding an LSA supercharger to an L92 w/ 10.5 compression so this is very pertinent to my interests haha. Either way really cool build!
