I have a RPM outlet 2.82 upper pulley and LFP #2 lower. I am only seeing 13.5 psi. I have no kinks in my lines and Have used different Autometer gauges. What is wrong? Stiegemeier's chart says 16.0 PSI. Any one got an idea?

again a boost question?

well the obvious question is belt slip?
2nd, 13.5psi would be normal for 5k/6k rpm
what psi are you at @ 4k rpm?

no slip and it hits 13.5-14 psi at 4k and holds to 6k RPM
The fact that your boost holds over 13.5psi to the redlines says your setup is working. You should be peaking a little higher around 4k but it doesn't seem like a big problem. As mentioned your off-road setup is definatly lowering your max boost.

Exactly! Boost charts (I have one on my site as well) are only a guide.
Actual boost will vary depending on your mods (ie. headers), as pointed out by CobraRyan. And remember that less boost and more power is always better.
oh ok. so when i get the stageV port will i still not see 16? will it lower even more?
Cause I do have a #4 LOWER i would like on

You'll see a more boost than you are seeing now. Add the 4 lb. lower and I'll guess you'll see around 17 lbs. total.
is that too much for little eaton?
Not if the blower is ported. Unported I would stay at 15 lbs. max.
