Boost levels with 305/555?

I currently am running a 2003 dodge 305/555 auto, with edge juice/attitude and boost elbow. my max levels of boost via attitude monitor range from 28-30psi seems kinda low to me. Just curious what you guys are achieving. any post would be great. thanks

My 03 had no trouble getting around 35 psi with my Van Aken 3.2 stacked with my ez. With just the EZ and boost elbow I could get 32 psi.

Where are you getting the boost info? From a gauge or the Attitude?
If it's from the Attitude, it may be incorrect due to the MAP sensor.

According to my Autometer gauge I have gotten over 30 psi with mine on level 5 without a boost elbow. I don't pay much attention to the boost number on the Attitude.

The stock muffler might be hurting the boost. I get 36psi. Craig

I'm showing 34psi with my 35psi Westach gauge with the SMARTY, adjustable boost elbow and the Edge EZ for a boost fooler. Possibility I could be higher than what the gauge is indicating.

I get my reading from my attitude. I previously had a tst cr47 and it read the same. Do you think opening up the exhaust would help?

The Edge and the TST both get there reading from the MAP sensor.

No. Our exhaust is not that restrictive. Have you played with the fueling settings on the Edge?

opening the exhaust will just help it flow. Before the boost fooler i could only get 25psi with no chip or programer. I can get 30-34 with just a programer on 90hp setting.

Yeah i have the low boost fueling turned all the way up on the edge. Is it possible that the map sensor is bad or out of range but not enough to throw any codes?
