low boost question

ok with my mods that i have below i am only getting 14.2 psi of boost. i already checked for belt slip and i dont have any. when i hit 14.2 it was at the top of 2nd gear at 7000 rpm. this seems really low for the 2.8 pulley that i have with the ott stage 1 kit. what are some other factors that could cause low boost? it runs rich but i dont think that would have anything to do with boost would it? what do you all think?

is the bypass hanging open? try the boost bypass mod and this will tell u if that is bleeding off some boost then u will have to go from there.

ok well i did the bypass mod. ran it the exact same way as i did with the 14.2 psi run. only difference is that ambient is 10 deg warmer this time. well i got up to 14.5 at the same rpm. so i dont think it is the bypass hanging open. what else could it be?

I have heard of this issue being the tune when the bypass mod doesn't fix it.
