I have a completely stock 2007 SS/SC, what should I expect the boost to be?

I finally ran a quick test now that I have just over 500 miles on the engine and in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears it makes 10 PSI of boost, is this normal, should I expect more?

Is the boost limited during initial break-in, and if so, how many miles until I get full boost?

Thanks,

boost isnt limited during "break-in"

 

ur supposed to be getting 12.1 PSI i think

 

thats what u should be seeing

 

i saw 12 psi (dont know anything more or less) under WOT @ 6000ish rpm

boost will limit at lower rpm

 

I forgot to add:

elevation: 186 feet above sea level
outside air temp: 99 degrees

 

What rpm were you monitoring under WOT?

 

yeah when it gets cooler you will def see more boost. nothing to worry about dude youre A o.k.

 

wish there was a cry emote.....

 

~ 6000 RPM

 

honestly couldnt give u a definitive answer man.

Try another log from hptuners under WOT to see what is going on.

 

your fine, every car is different.

 

originally was thinking the same,

id still make sure by scanning it. Im **** about my car though. It could very well be nothing.

It certainly wont mean your engine is going to die.

 

fwiw i boosted 10 psi all day every day for about a week before i went to my 2.5" pulley. Weather will play into this, also you have to remember that no two cars are alike there are certian specs that just have to be within a exact measurement. I would not worry about it to much

 

Also to add to the above , the stock boost gauge isn't the most accurate in the world , and 99 degree's isnt the best temp to check it at anyway.

 

I just got back from another run with better results:

outside air temp: 79 degrees
boost at ~ 6000 RPM: 12.5 PSI

 

u should be boosting 12psi

 

there ya go
