Thread: How much boost?

u need a scanner, imo that should be everyone's first mod...

boost all depends on flow mods. if the motor cant breath its gonna boost high as hell because well it cant go no where. if you have flow mods its not gonna boost as high.

all boost is, is the stack up of air.

you could take a 3.4 pulley and one guy might boost 12 while another only boost 8. the guy with 8 is probably faster cause his motor can use the air effectivly. so effective that it eliminated 4 pounds that were just sitting around waiting to get used, now they are being used.

Not really...just because you have a IC doesn't mean you won't have knock.

Right...I had a buddy run nearly 17psi on his 3.4 on a average temp. day when I could barely touch 15 on my 3.1" on a 40* night

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK LOL

Yeah but then again how many people are going to be running a 3.4" on a IC setup anyways

damn, 17 pounds on a 3.4, did he have a block off plate in the exhaust or something ???

i only see about 5 pounds in the mid rpm range, guess its time to pulley it

wtf is wrong with your car

my car makes less boost than stock and is faster than some of the 3.4 set ups

all i got to say is its not all about boost.
