    No because you engine is pushing it out about the same as it's pulling it in. Ever seen a vacuum gauge in a na car? At WOT it goes to 0

    Don't confuse pressure with boost though. Your intake is under 14.7 PSI but you make no boost what so ever.

    I see 9-10 PSI.

    Never noticed much more power if any.

    Just an improved throttle response.

    So...yeah.
    You're not allowed to talk about tunes.

    Dunno why you guys don't see more boost. With cam, rockers, IC etc etc, I was still kicking it at ~15psi at the top fo the gear
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    They don't have a foot as heavy as yours

    I see about 11 psi w/ a 3.0" on the GTP (mods in sig)
