How Much Boost w/ a Comp

How much boost are yall running w/ an edge comp? My gauge max's out at 30 and I can burry that needle. I run my comp on 2x5 or 3x3 (can slip the clutch either way if I get on it) and mach 1.5's are on the way. I know I'm gonna upgrade my boost gauge soon when the injectors get here, but I am curious to see what yall are running boost-wise right now w/ a comp.

Hmmm at 5000' with comp only and boost elbow I would hit 30 psi on 5x5. With Mach2s, comp, and B1-2 I barely hit 38 on 5x5. I have some 4s coming and hope they will spin maybe 42-45psi. Does altitude have that much effect?

PS I have re-tightened all clamps a couple times so I doubt I have a leak?

Altitude make a big difference...more than I would have thought.
I get 50 psi boost (PM3 on 9) at home..650'... and could only pull 41 psi in Colorado Springs...at 6000'.
