Default E-boost setting help

SP 30 for 13 psi
SP 99 for max boost ?? 18-20psi not tuned yet

I need better understanding of GP setting. Manual says 3psi factory setting. What do you guys have and what should this setting be at for my boost needs?

I start at 5 with GP at 1 and see what happens, then I go in counts of 4 increments. This helps prevent overboost and keep it together

If you use external SPs, you can actually taylor the GP to the available traction. I leave GP pretty low in the first 2 gears, and then ramp it up in the higher gears.

In this video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebR92hyX69E around the 1:00 mark, listen to the pull in each gear. 1st is spin, 2nd spin, then hook, 3rd pulls, and then listen to how fast it pulls in 4th- he grabs the wheel because I added 4 psi

The last pull in that video, I upped GP with in 1 psi of peak boost at each SP, and it just annihilates the tires.
