Thread: 3lbs max boost on l32 swappted camaro

yeah guys i just installed my boost gauge and i'm only getting 3lbs max, i know i have headers and a high flow exhaust and a full 3 inch CAI but maybe this is to low. there are no vacuum leaks and the engine only has 20k miles. when i took the supercharger apart rotors and case was in great shape not even a scratch. just pulley down or is there something not right? i have a 5 speed with 3.23 gears

i tap it in a t right before the map sensor. and only check engine light i have is p0000.

maybe that code is because i deleted the egr without tuning. everything on the motor is in good working order.

also this is the gauge im using. its a mechanical auto meter.
Auto Meter

like this but without the sc bypass solenoid

yes i see it closing. tomorrow ill try to make sure its shutting all the way.

If you dont care about fuel economy sure.

T5?

Thinking about it, it IS an L32 swapped camaro... so I doubt fuel economy is a major concern.

i do a tank in 2 weeks. with my lt1 t56 car i would do it in a week if i was lucky. the main goal of this project was fuel economy and power only when needed. so far so good but lets see what the dyno says on the 25th.

i was looking at another thread and saw that a bone stock l32 gtp does 5lbs of boost. perhaps with my CAI, headers, and free flowing exhaust 3 lbs is ok? today i guned it in first it noticed it went up to 4 while the car hit the rev limiter. lets see what happens when i pulley down.

Its possible.

Stock pulley with all those mods? If thats how it is then I could see that. Throw a pulley on and watch for KR.
