Re: I need information I take it this is the 3.2 ?
If so I have the same and do not see more than 6-7 PSI. Being that PSI read on a meter is based on pressure due to possitive CFM boost and back pressure within a system, you may never see the 9psi read on the meter, the more efficient the engine is the less PSI you will read due to "less backpressure". I used to read a couple pounds more when I didn't have headers etc.. check you belt for slippage. Also be sure that your PSI lines are tight etc. ANY leak will cause a lower number.

Re: I need information I have already tightened my belt and checked for leaks and it still only reads 5psi. Also I am only hitting a 12.2 at the track. What are you hitting.

Re: I need information Need to know if you have headers, cam, or if its stock? The answer above about the pressure is correct, I have headers and a cam and the 3.0 pulley and I am seeing only 9lbs.
