Boost at altitude?

My dealer told me I would never get more than 10psi boost at this altitude (Colorado) is he right or just don't want to check my car for a problem? I only have ever gotten 10psi since i've owned it. Is this because I'm a mile high or is my dealer higher? ~

Tell youe dealer that you took your car on a trip to somewhere that was sea level, and when you where there you unpluged the battery to reset the ECU and it still is not right.

yes that is the explination, there is no problem. dont lie and have them check out your car unless you like to drop off your car, not have it for a couple of days and then get it back with absolutly nothing gained. i dont know, maybe thats how you get your kicks. its up to you.

Yes I am at about 5400-5500 ft. Depending on how spirited I am driving I get between 7.5-10psi. Nothing really above 5psi when just cruising

I am a 7000ft and when i put the interceptor guage in it showed i was getting 6.5 max in third while my stock said it was getting 10. I got the 3" pulley on now and get 10 when its warm and 11 when its cold. The 2.8" should get me up to 12, but the a super charger is not like a turbo, it doesn't create tons of extra boost so you going to lose some at altitude. What altitude are you at?

EDIT: saw you were a mile high so when i am in albuquerque i was getting 8 or so PSI stock which is probably close to your PSI that you are getting now. With the 3" i get very close to 12 but i don't think i have actually gotten it yet.
