That's nuts. I think YOUR gauge is broked. LOL
I saw about 17 or so on a 3.1"...and it was about 35*-40* outside. I wish I could have had bigger injectors to see what a 2.8" would have done :D
Hear that fish? its BROKED! Thats about 3.5 times more serious than broken.Quote:

not broken. ive been through 2 guages both read the same. and im t'd in at the lim. so HA! my car just boost stacks like a mofo. but no knock so no harm. imagine me with a 2.8 though...
It'd be ratared.
Ra-tard.
Yeah, that's insane. If you're actually that high, you're probably losing a ton of power by not fixing whatever is wrong, even if you are keeping it from blowing up.Quote:

With a roots blower, all boost is caused by restriction. Somewhere in your system after the LIM, you have some serious restriction. Someone didn't clamp your catback shut, did they?
nope. headers will full 3" exhaust all the way to the cat back. oh and no cat to be clogged either.
internally collapsed muffler? Valvetrain issues? leave a rag in the wrong place? If you're positive it's not a false reading, I would keep looking.
heads were rebuilt when i did the top swap, im not dumb enough to leave a rag in my motor. it just boosts stacks. idk why
It boost stacks because ALL roots type blowers boost stack...thats how they make power.
boost stacking is a stupid term.
i agree lol
bio do you see a problem with my boost situation?
Hijacked an Autometer from a friend. 6.5psi(redline). ~*32 ambient. Vac. = 17hg(idle). Time for a new gauge. MY autometer was showing 4.5 in mid 20*(redline) with Vac at 22hg(idle). BS.
there ya go
I do.Quote:

Something isn't right. You shouldn't be seeing more than 8psi or so with those headers and ported blower.
alright. but what? seriously lol. prj said it boosted high but never seen a problem with it.
