I just installed a boost gauge and after the install it lead me to think what should I be boosting at?

I know stock is around 8.5 PSI, am I right? Well obviously my car is modded so am wondering what I should be boosting with my current mods, which are:

-Ultimate Racing 2.5 downpipes
-Stett Cold Air Intake
-Forge DV (Yellow Spring)
-JB3 Map 3

Acoording to my boost Gauge when I set the JB3 on map 0 am boosting around 9-10 PSI, when set to JB3 on map 3 it reads between 10-11 PSI.

The car feels so much faster on map 3, but am wondering why the boost range is so close together....

just curious, don't want to worry over nothing.

Im not sure but I think u should be hitting between 10-12 depending on weather conditions???

All I DO know is you should put that bitch on map 5!

Map 3 does not change the max boost a lot, but the average boost vs. rpm is increased substantially, which results in better performances.

Hell no put it on map 7!!!!

Your DV spring might be taking part in your boost.

However 11-12 psi sounds about normal for map 3 I think.

Jb3 log and send to Terry if you feel there is a problem.

He doesn't have an intercooler. Shouldn't go above map 5 without one.

I know a good amount of people running map 7 on stock cars and they run perfect.Im running map 7 with filters and intercooler and also runs perfect.You just have to use 93 octane fuel.
