    I'm assuming the boost gauges that come in the dic max out at Whatever psi, and my car has a 3.4 pully so it max's out at half throttle, now that dosent mean I'm at like max for that pully correct? I'm guessing the ones in the gp's are more of a light show?

    umm stock gauge is set for like 6ish PSI with a 3.4 you are prbly around the 9 to 10 PSI mark... so at about half throttle it will go full cause u are registering the 6ish PSI of boost

    Other mods?

    Sorta sounds like you might not understand your engine very well here, you might be causing harm to it.

    You don't even need a boost gauge on a supercharged car. That is why it is buried in the DIC.

    my regal will show over 8 psi, bone stock only if its like 5 deg's or less outside ill see 8.5. in warm weather i see 6.5 to 7 tops at the shift points. one day ill find out if it reads higher.

    but then again i dont know when the last time i even looked at my boost gauge lol if you hear it whine, your boosting.

    them lego blocks seem to be worthless anyway. the regal gets a true digital read out, the sports car gets a dummy lego blocks display, way to go GM!
