272's installed boost went down
I have noticed that my boost has gone down since I installed my 272's is this correct? I was peaking in the high 23's now in the mid 22's also was holding 20ish to redline now i am only holding 18-19.... Should I crank it up a notch?

Boost is gonna go down because the higher lift intake cam decreases vacuum pressure. I would recommend getting a tune before turning up the boost.

^ true
|
the longer you keep the valves open, the more boost that goes into the cylinders, the less pressure is measured in the intake manifold. Thus a lower reading. Make sence?? Cranking it up with out logging AFR and knock could be risky. I would advise you tune it.

264's dropped my stock boost to 13psi.
|
would reflashing the ECU fix the idle that the 272s give the car? Or it wont help?
|
A reflash will help, and also the use of adjustable cam gears.......both will give u a stock like idle.
|
I might just invest in a Wideband and tune it myself.
