What heads are you running on your procharged setup? 12+ psi

How are you calculating how much boost you were making? I'm simply going off of my map sensor readings and taking that value, minus 100kpa, multiplying by 14.7 and dividing by 100kpa. It's not an exact measurement, but it's close enough.
So the most boost I saw was a 3rd gear blast where I hit 200.2kpa at 6890rpm. So that's essentially 14.9 psi of boost give or take a tenth or two.

Mike Norris told me what it was making when it was on the dyno through the 2-bar map. And i have a boosted gauge. My boost gauge reads about 1-1.5 pst higher than what the may sensor was seeing. I was hitting about 5.5 and it peaked around 5.8ish right at redline according to my tuner.

Well u are running a 370 with a set of heads and probably free flowing exhaust. So 12psi is pretty decent. I think its nuts that the alchemist was hitting 14psi with heads and only a 4.00 pulley i have stock heads and a 4.38" pulley and make 5.5 or so. I just can't see .38" difference make 9 more pst of boost....
You're right. I don't know what to say. I wish I had gotten the car on a dyno to see if the horsepower numbers were in line with how much boost I was making. Once I get the motor back together and in the car, I will get it on a set of rollers. I don't plan on changing my setup as I was very happy with the drivability and the power it was making, so it should be an accurate reflection of where I was at.

I prolly could use a set of bigger primary headers. Im running Pace setter 1 3/4 right now. Hell I gained almost 70rwhp by opening the cutrout.
I have a Stock LS6 intake and TB. I have the EPP FMIC kit with the stock intake hat and BIG filter.
****, my car wasnt even carrying the power past 6k, much less what you hit at 6890 lol. Im kind of confused by that also.
