With my 4:10's and my old 285's I could only do 85 and it was smoking like a freight train, smooth as glass

I slowed down at 102 because the Dmax guy had the stock 98mph governor so there was no point pushing more. It was still gaining speed too though. The pyro stays below 1,000 till I get over 90mph then it starts climbing again steady till it hit 1,400* at 102mph. I wonder why with a 12cm housing with the wg unhooked I can hit 32psi at 45mph in 5th and still high in the rpms at 102mph its still only 32psi. Why am I not building more boost?

I'm still pushing 35PSI at 100MPH, and she feels like there is a lot more, if I didn't care about the big holes I would melt in the pistons!
