Every car is different. You have stock manifolds and exhaust?

When you change your exhaust, if you do, you'll drop a couple of pounds of boost.

For every .2" change in pulley size is usually 1.5-2# of boost change.

Going from 7.5" stock diameter balancer to 8" overdrive usually gains 2.5#s of boost.

Where'd you get your intake pipe with the welded MAF sensor hookup? I see them all the time, just never sure where to get them.

My boost did drop significantly after headers and porting my intake, making good power on 7 lbs of boost though on a 3.8, Meth is next, then maybe a 3.6 pulley.
