The higher the boost the better. But it all depends on what you have modded on the car. Stock you should run, I believe, around or at 10psi. After that I couldn't help ya.

Boost is what is generated by turbos. Boost is generally measured in PSI=Pounds per squre inch. Stock 3rd gen's or Fd's as most of us call them run 10psi boost. The higher the boost levels the faster the car will go. It's a litte more involved than that but it's a basic description.
