well I've built it according to corky bells formula for a maximum effort system. 3000 rpm is soft for sure but at and beyond 4 k it's monsterous. With the head work and mbsp I have raised the rev limiter to 7500 rpm and there is no boost Droop

"How much boost can it handle" without further details is one of the dumbest questions ever. In order to be able to make any sort of estimation we would need to know all the details. You changed all the metals? What kind of rods? What sort of turbo/manifold/exhaust/etc? Engine management? Who is tuning it?
It is known that, on average, stock rods tend to fail somewhere around 250 wtq assuming good tune and such. if the boost comes on hard and soon it is more likely to break than boost onset softer and later.
