Post your Boost!!
Post your Boost!!
Okay I would like this thread to help some people out, including myself. I would like those of us with pulleys, tunes etc to post our boost #s with our combinations to answer alot of the "What do you get for boost." I suggest we post our maximum boost at whatever point you shift at. Also, if you know your elevation, lets throw that in there too.
I guess I will start.
Pulley: 2.9
Max Boost: 15psi @ 6800rpm; Shows just over 100KPA on gauge.
Elevation: 1640 ft.
Stage 2, Injen and HPT tuning.

Okay, I don't know why my car is boosting so high, maybe the stock guage is off. I know some of you will want to call bs on it, but I take it out and try get my friend to take a pic of the guage when am driving.
I'm running, Stg 2, KN Intake, GMPP Exhaust.
4th gear I have seen it between 115 - 120 kpa...
110 kpa = almost 16 psi
115 kpa = 16.7 psi
120 kpa = 17.4 psi
Don't ask me, I swear this is what I have been seeing though.

I have seen quite difference depending on what the outside air temps have been. Here are some of the readings I have seen since buying the car in July 2006.
Stage 1 installed in the fall, and Stage 2 upgrade this spring.
All at redline or there abouts, and about 2-3 hundred feet above sea level...
Bone stock 12-12.5 psi
Stage 1 stock pulley 15ish psi (around 5* out)
Stage 2 pulley (3.06") 16 psi+ temps around 35*
Stage 2 pulley 15 psi mabye a touch more, most of the summer
Stage 3 pulley (2.99") 16+/- psi yesterday temps in the 60's

Was using a 2.85" which when I put it on last december was good for 18 psi.....but this summer (99 degrees outside) put out around 14 psi.....now that I'm back to stage 2 pulley right now 12 psi when winter rolls back around I expect 15 psi which I had last fall and winter.....
Also, is your car the SS that is on youtube "Cobalt SS on 20's??" If not sure as hell looks like it.
That is my car....
Yea, I'm just gonna go with 2.9 and 42.5 lb injectors. I don't want to risk anything plus I'm not looking to be one of those guys who has a car that puts out huge amounts of boost anyway. Makes things not so fun cause there is no competition.
