Hey y’all

I have noticed I loose a significant amount of boost past 6,000 rpm (14 psi down to about 10-8 psi. It varies) you can also hear the whine of the blower up to about 6,000 and after that it’s like blower shuts off and all you hear is mainly the engine. I know the car peaks HP at about 6250 rpm but the redline goes to 7,000. Has anyone else noticed this on their Shelby? Should the boost remain at 14 psi up until 7,000?

Car is stock except for intake resonator delete and I noticed it had JBA shorties. I bought the car with those mods from the Ford dealer.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks

I'm going to guess the belt needs replacing. And depending on mileage a new tensioner wouldn't hurt. The black dust is from the belt slipping.
