    I was told there's a screw somewhere near the s/c that you could raise or lower the amoust of boost produced. I know its not gnna change it 4-5 psi but I would guess 1-2 if anyone knows the locatioon or if it even exists that would be great

    What it actually does it help you get into boost faster or slower. Based on valve rod travel. If you look at the front side of the SC. There's two 10mm screws. Those are the ones you want.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Add flow mods, then do smaller pulley to increase boost and power.

    Cam, Wouldn't the flow mods negate smaller pulley. Sure it would give you more power, you could retain the same boost levels though.

    I tried to find this, but i couldnt. I think im going to do headers and exhaust. A pic might help of the location of the screws.

    You loosen them (ccw), push the BBV down all way, then tighten them back up (CW).
