How much boost?

[10thAnnvCobra]

I know that my stock boost gauge pegs past 10 when I go WOT, but how much boost am I actually getting? I have a BF 2.93 and the stock lower. I'm guessing about 13 lbs. Does anyone know what this combo creates? :shrug:

Thanks... :beer:

I had a 2.75 upper and stock lower with a stock, unported blower and made about 15 lbs. So, I think around 13lbs is pretty close.

12-13# depending on outside air temps

12-13 is what most cars will see, some as low as 11 depending on how well the motor breathes. Get a hilton overlay for your stock gauge, its only $30 and looks like it's factory....

Check out CobraBob's FAQ's on this. He just recalcualted the boost levels with certain combos which makes it a bit more accurate. FAQ # 3.6.1. The 2.93 pulley comes out to 13.5 lbs of boost.

Thanks guys, my guess of 13 is probably pretty close. With the Accufab on a cold day maybe more. I would have gotten the Hilton boost overlay sometime ago but I understand it's a pain to install. I would rather add a real mechanical vacuum/boost gauge.

It's a hell of a lot easier than adding another seperate gauge. Just pull the gauge cluster out, lay the overlay over the factory gauge, and trim the tab. Takes less than an hour....

With a 2.8 only im seein right around 14...My dyno readout was showing 13.7...not sure which is more accurate....

I installed a pillar mounted boost gauge (twice) two weeks ago lol..took less than an hour start to finish...I actually think it was easier than it would be to do the Hilton overlay..dont even need a screwdriver to do it
