There is a scientific approach. Chris Davies has calculated the effective compression ration of a 350Z with 6/6.5/7/7.5/8/8.5/9 psi of boost added at sea level. He as our Technical Director has determined the boost levels that he is happy with on each car.
This is only one small part of the testing, he has had destructive testing carried out on components and we have carried out cylinder pressure testing. The result of all of these tests have allowed us to determine our own safe working limit for these cars.
If you just "bolt on" an APS TT kit you really struggle to get it to deliver less than 430 BHP at the flywheel. You need to work at getting the stresses down. The kit is excellent.
