It depends on the condition of your motor. If it is in good running condition and low miles you should be ok as long as you keep the boost low.
I would do a compression test on the motor before installing one.
If your motor is in good condition you should be fine w/ 6lbs of boost ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

I got 10 psi from an s-trim doing exactly that, with +/- the same mods same intake too lol. stock throttle body, and two gas tanks later i blew a head gasket, broke a motor mount and now im doing bigger things.
you won't regret it though, the first time I took it for a test drive I couldn't whipe the grin off my face.
With 6psi you shouldn't have much to worry, I would've been fine if I'd got a tune. good luck
