Max Boost = 29 psi

Does this sound a little low? I can't hit over 1150 on the pyro either! I have new injectors on the way, but for now, just whats in my sig and Juice set at 5x5. Do you all think my Map sensor could be weak since i'm getting my boost numbers from the Attitude monitor?

For just a juice and nothing else your right around the safe point. I usually like to see around 35psi out of an HX35 but 30 is fine.

Side note: The weather is cold, like 25 degrees but I am at 4500' elevation, and tomorrow i'll hit 6500' and see how much boost i can make. I'm just worried my turbo might be biting the dust due to my Nitro Methane Runs!!

I would probably have to say that your biggest problem is the fact you live in Provo.

Just for school, I don't intend to live here ever again. Too many do gooders, too many nice people, too many beautiful girls! I like it here, just don't want to work in this market!

Better check for codes Did you change the oil or run analysis on your oil after the nitro?

You also have injectors, I'm pretty much stock except for the box and a supporting things. No, I didn't do the oil analysis yet, I will however do it soon as i need an oil change right now.

I just hit 30 PSI at about 6000' elevation. But that was WOT for 20 seconds on a hill in 5th gear and Juice 5x5. This Juice sure smokes a lot more than my comp did, if I take off in second with no go petal and then floor as soon as I'm rolling... I can make the vehicle behind me disappear. It almost makes the truck lope like it quenches the fire or something. I swear that with a boosted launch, the Juice pulls harder than my comp, but from a lugged start, the comp would pull harder. And the Comp definately pulled harder in the middle but a little weaker on top. Weird... I'd say that If i had an auto, the comp would be faster due to it's middle power, but the juice is definately faster on my 5spd.

The Juice might feel slower off the line because it throws in so much fuel it begins to put out the fire...? The comp may have had a more "tame" low-end fueling curve...
