Default Question on boost at the line???

I was just curious how much boost you guys show at the line with a 2 step and what r.p.m. yall are set at. I am running the STS system with only 5 p.s.i. and set at 4500 r.p.m. im showing no boost I don't know if im spose to wait for the damn thing to spool like 10 or 15 sec's or what? Not really sure. I wanna try and pull atleast 3 p.s.i. at the line. I haven't really played with it that much just curious on what yall are getting.

I'm running a msd-2 step with my STS system in my 94 camaro z28. I'm running a 4,200 pill and it's already showing 5psi on the line. I dont have to wait at all. Shows 5psi as soon as I have the pedal floored.

The fact that it doesnt see any boost at that rpm says something about the system. Without changing parts/tune turning the two step higher is your only choice.

How much boost are you running just 5 p.s.i. or more than that? Well I went out and did acouple launches at 4500 r.p.m. with my mt et streets and I showed no boost and than I let the clutch out and she did nothing but smoke em when it hit boost. Although it was a fun ride I need to get it figured out. Track's opening up next week so we will figure it out than.

Thanks,
Jimmy

I have the car set at 5psi on low and 7psi on High. Did not try it on the high boost setting yet. I cannot even get the car to hook on 5psi. But yeah it will show 5psi on the booost gauge when I activate the 2 step

Play with the timing and tune down low to get some extra boost.
