i have a 2.79 pulley and i only hit max 16 psi i have a header and high flow cat and all the other modds in my sig but why am i only hitting 16psi anything would be help full meth is not hooked up

 

its fine

 

I get 14 psi on a 2.8

boost doesnt equal power.

 

thats 100% completely normal.... factor this in -.5psi for every 1000ft

 

i kno boost doesnt equal power but i hear every 1 else running 17 to 18 psi

 

whats your altitude?

no 2.7's get that... not 2.8's

you have full exhuast thats a loss of 1 psi right there plus altitude... stop worrying your cars fine

 

who cares.
they probably just have restrictions to flow causing higher boost.

having good exhaust work will drop your boost, and make more power with it.
which is a GOOD thing. not a bad thing.

 

1000 ft above

 

so exhaust and altitude your losing approx 1.5psi.... nothing to worry about your cars proly pretty fast, just not as fast as mine lol just f-in with ya

heres an example im at 2200ft with full 3" catless exhaust and 2.7 and i see a max of 17 but normally 16-16.5

 

hahaha yeah im going to get dyno tuned next tuesday just to make sure

 

and ive ran a lowest of 13.2 so boost doesent equall power my friend... moving air does...

i added a example to my post ^^^ look above

 

I had 15 on a 2.9 .. Normal

 

...this makes me wonder wtf is with mine,lol, I'm from canada so it reads in kpa, but I'm reading 105-110kpa, which is about 15.5lbs of boost, on just a stage 2 pulley. I'm a sea level though, maybe 30ft elevation,lol (this is in Moncton, New Brunswick) I'm not complaining,lol, I'm just wondering how thats possible if another guy is running 16psi on a 2.79 when stage 2 is what 3.09? Does that mean my gauge is very innacurate beacuse its the stock one? (local guy tried to tell me stock one is ****, I told him I didnt know if it was or wasnt so i wasnt gonna argue)

 

mine runs like 17.5 with the 2.8 at 7200RPMs

 

im gettin 17.5 with a 2.7, your fine

 

well i see 16 on 2.7 at 2200ft and at my girls house where it sea level i see 18.5 almost 19 so ide say the altutude makes a huge difference in boost and power...

I only get 15 on a 2.79, I am at 3000ft.
