True, but I dont really care at all what a guage tells me i'm boosting. As long as the car is running hard, im good.

True. It does however pack alot of mass (not necessarily dense air) into the cylinder; this is why cooling mods work so well. Even though our engine doesn't utilize alot of the boost in stock form flow wise we can at least pack the coolest air possible into the cylinder.

If I had alot of money I would concentrate alot on flow mods including properly matched cams.
