psi is presure not flow, when you are increasing the presure but the head aint consuming your presure will still increase aswell as temps but the engine wont actually be getting much more air inside it
my engine was holding 27psi to the limiter but maxed out the greens and was running a little lean after 6300rpm in 4th and 5900rpm in 5th gear as it was consuming the air meaning that i the 27psi was alot more air than say 27psi on a head that aint flowing the air
sorry im shite at explaining things but if your injectors are flowing more fuel for a small amount of boost they the engines working better
big big boost engines dont mean better engines for more power/top speed
though i belive you will loose low down torque or something like that
infact ignore me and PM stavros as thats what he knows about
i see what your saying mate torque is down hasnt got the punch my stage 3 saff had but once your over 5500 rpm seem to just rip right to limiter ! and inlet temps from mapping graph are 41 degrees at 7300 rpm and highest peak of inlet temp recorded on secs is 55 degrees.
