depends on the condition of the motor components and weather conditions. anywhere from 5-10 pounds of boost is possible.

Anywhere from .34 to .68 BAR

about 7 from the factory can be upped to 10 or 12 by the boost bypass mod, depending on your elevation,outside temp,internal temp,humidity ect. then theres the throttle body tricks wich can push it even higher , ive seen one hit 18 psi before blowing a head

this is so wrong it's not even funny. how can you mod the BBV to get more boost? answer: you can't. PLEASE do not tell people to play with the BBV. it is set at where it is for a reason. leave it alone.

what are you talking about with throttle body 'tricks' to get more boost? another invalid statement.

:th_scratchhead:

So you're saying you can make a device which pushes a set amount of air per rotation at a set speed based on the ratio between the crank and the pulley on the snout push more air by changing things that dont affect this relationship nor the other relationships in the engine that determine how well the engine flows?

Disregarding weather of course.
