9.5-10 psi of boost it is normal ?????

I just take my SS/SC at the dealer today, i have 10 mile on it and when i floor it in 3-4 gear at 6200 rpm i see the boost around 9.5-10 psi, it is a normal thing because i look on the forum and a couple of person said that they boost around 12.5 psi bone stock ????

let me know

thanx

Why you flooring it with 10 miles on it?

But as noted, it's below normal.

I would think it would (should) make full boost straight off the lot? Granted, I wouldn't know since I took the time to properly break it in . . .

I only boosted to 10 PSI. It was the gauge that was faulty. The dealer dropped a new one in and now I see the 12 PSI. But be nice to your ride until 800 KM.

Maybe your conversion is wrong. After all, your car reads KPa, Not PSI.

i took my car to the track with 500 miles on it, my friend took his with 200 miles on it, we were flooring it off the lot. That break in stuff is garbage. I had 30,000 on my ls before i traded it in and i redlined every gear for all 30,000 miles fromt he day i got it and never had any of the problems these people have with there LS's.

My ss drives perfect and the only reason i dont redline it all the time is because of gas consumption
