Hey guys i just had a quick question. I just recently installed an AMS manual boost controller. and i set it up to 23 psi. before i installed it i was hitting about 20 psi and i did a baseline dyno with no tuning. and i was putting down about 235 awhp on a dyno dynamic dyno. my air fuel ratio is about 10.5 at redline. my mods are just a arc intake box and a cobb catback for now and i was wondering if running 23 psi is okay or should i turn it down?

 

you should be ok with that, i wouldnt go any higher... i had mine set to 25lbs with intake and exhaust untuned but i wouldnt do that again haha but i would get a tune if i was you just to help it all out running pretty rich there up top which isnt bad its safer haha

 

I wouldn't take the risk. All the cars seem to be pretty different from the factory with how they respond to added boost. I would get a tune and turn it up safely. I've been running 24.5lbs for over a year now with just some bolt-ons and a quick tune on the dyno.

 

^^^ +1 I probably wouldn't run more than 20lbs of boost w/out a tune.

 

yea, i used to run 25 psi all day

 

get the tune soon just to be safe

 

most people will keep their boost around 20psi after installation of boost controller before tune. even tho people do that w/ no problem but always try to stay on the safe side. by just looking at the a/f ratio is not everything. timing, boost, a/f ratio work in conjunction w/ each other
