I have been looking at twin turbo kits that are only running around 5 to 10 lbs of boost. my question is will my motor be able to handle this setup?
Do you have E85 available at your local gas station?
When contemplating forced induction, the available fuel is the main player.
There is static compression ratio, which is the ratio of volumes built into the motor and calculated from bore, stroke, combustion chamber volume, piston crown configuration, piston deck height and gasket thickness and then there is FINAL static compression ratio, which also factors in the pressure of the incoming fuel/air charge which is being compressed by the turbo(s).

Here's a final static compression ratio chart from Blower Drive Service that shows static compression ratio down the left side and blower boost across the top. The shaded area is the limit for pump gas. The white area is final static compression ratio you can operate on with race gas or alcohol.
