35psi. Driver side door should have a sticker that tell you this. I don't think there is any variation in PSI for SVTPP vs non-SVTPP setup.

Drag or road course...thats a whole different topic :)

Opps...LOL. :lol1: Not much of an expert on that, except when I push the pedal on the right, I get more boost ;-)

I'd connect up a real gauge, T off from hose in from of Supercharger, even if you want to run a temp one inside

Yes - i have a mechanical gauge- i think its off -- when i pull in 4th -- it will jump to 16-17 psi right away... but that is a long gear and it will creep to 18-19 around 5-5,500rpm.

Pretty much same mods as you (gen 2 TVS as opposed to Trinity) and I'm in North Florida. I see right at 18...a hair under (17.8) in the hotter months, a hair over (18.4) in the cooler months.

You are in the same area -- I am in Jacksonville -- i guess its off a little bit --- 3rd gear doesnt seem to be as high as 4th. but then again it is more difficult to watch 3rd gear... lack of traction and it pulls through the gear much faster than 4th.

I work in Jax off of Cassatt. I live in Macclenny.

I've got interceptor gauges with the boost/vacuum sensor T'd into the line off the front.

For all I know I didn't set up the sensor perfect. I followed the instructions and everything seemed right but I'd trust a full mechanical gauge over electric IMO.

Like the guys said, probably in the 17+\- range. I would suggest taking it to a dyno and hooking up to an external boost gauge for your runs.
