Engineers Max cutter shields advice

Tried to find this on Youtube and on here, but my search skills are weak.

Got a 8a level 5 heavy duty modded shield.

Got 7 or so shield boosters from level 1 to 3 modded ( mostly heavy but some thermal)

my shield is about 3900mj.

What is the maximum i should be looking for if i bother getting enough materials for those boosters to be modded to level 5.

Mainly want to do it to chuckle at the gankers when they pull me over, and to sit in Cz longer.

Don't forget some people add on the capacity of their SCB's onto the total MJ of the shield. So, for example a 7A SCB has 5 charges of 650Mj each so they would add 3250 on their shield total.

Wish people would be more specific when describing their shields. For example I could say that my Anaconda only has 1450MJ of shields, but @4 pips, plus resistance modifiers, plus 5 shield cell charges, that works out to be well over 30,000MJ's (hitpoints) across all forms of damage.

What I mean is it's rather difficult to gauge a shields effectiveness, efficiency, and ramming potential (mine would be rubbish against rammers) off a single number.

Play around with this and this. They'll help you get a better idea of how shields operate in Elite. The game sure as hell doesn't explain it well, so there'll be a bit of trial and error until you're able to wrap your head around the mechanics.
