Boost pattern observations
Was observing spool-up patterns driving around in 5th gear around town today. I can floor it at 40mph in 5th gear and the car doesn't go all "weaksauce" begging for a mercy downshift as it would N/A.
2000rpms: seeing positive manifold pressure
2500rpms: ~4-5psi
3000rpms: solid 7psi
Tachometer tends to read high compared to the tach on the MegaTune, so the actual engine RPMS may be lower than indicated. Need to look at datalogs to corroborate.
<evil grin>
I wonder what happens when I turn up the wick to 10-12 psi? I've got the fuel and intercooler for it. Are my pistons and con-rods up to the task, though?
