its at 32 psi and feels good goes like fuck. ive got a bit of private road 0.8 of a mile with a sharp bend at the start of it and ive had 155 and stopped within this 0.8 mile stretch. dunno what head can flow but even if it was on its limit at 26 psi it must still push a bit more in id of thought with 6 psi more pressure. all i know of head is nms said middle of the road, so 410 standard and 550 for fully ported so if im in the middle should be around 480 ish ?

sometimes you can ad more boost but the engine not cunsume the air is what the blokes getting at

you can have 32psi and slow the car down i belive, stavros or chip will confirm if im talking shite im sure but thats how i understand it

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.

....no mate, the only thing i can advise is watch what boost its pulling on the rollers and where in the rev range....if it dosnt match what it does on the road how can it be right....i've done 2 R/R days and this hasnt happened........

well 442/26 = 17bhp per psi

so 32x17 = 544bhp

trust me i'm an engineer

not booked in yet. im off work sick today so phoned local rollers to try and get in today but aint heard back yet

from all the feedback im getting from another post the only way im gonna know how much ive gained is if it goes back to nobles rollers again where it was done the last time. im not bothered about just knowing the figure its fast as fuck so dont really matter but would like to know how much hp its gained with the extra 6 psi and ignition. what im hearing is different rollers are vastly different so im not gona know am i

The absolutely only why you can make a like for like comparison to see what the increase in boost has given, is to go back to Noble's. If you record a figure on a different type of rolling road, you might as well have just guessed the difference .
