    I agree, its amazing what a P&P can do for boost levels, i was seeing 4-5 bone stock, then 6-7(maybe 8 at shift) with my 3.4 setup, after just porting the bottom of my blower and polishing bottom and cleaning the hell out of it, im seeing 10-12 all day and thats at 85-90* weather

    a ported blower should net lower boost levels, not higher.
