Right now we're seeing 6psi @ 6000rpm.
The dyno guys are letting off at 6k and not revving it higher.
Will have to push them to take it up to 6500rpm before I take it home.
P.S. Does anyone know where the Vortech kit says to place the IAT for the '97-'00 setups? We relocated ours to the Intake Manifold. I'd like to confirm where Vortech says to place it.
Is there a hole in the airbridge from Vortech? Or do they require you to drill/tap into the Vortech airbridge?

The instructions have you drill a hole in the Vortech air bridge and install the sensor there.
What a couple of us have done is to install the sensor in the air aftercooler so that the PCM sees the temp of the boosted air. This also all allows you to see the real air temp that the engine is seeing when you log data with something like EFILive.

Cool. That's what I thought.
Haven't seen the kit or my car in quite some time.
Should pick it up soon.
We considered drilling the IAT into the aftercooler, but opted to place it in the Intake Manifold neck just behind the throttle body.
