rbrodder Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Does anyone know what the stock boost pressure should be at WOT? I have about 2300 miles on a 2008 GT500 and at WOT it seems to putting out about 7psi? is this a normal boost. The car seemed sluggish today with the temp around 92????

rsfdiver Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Temperature/humidity could have something to do with it. Traction control, or bad gas too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SHELBY GT Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I'm thinking stock boost under good conditions is 8-9PSI.Good conditions though,Temp,Humidity,And altitude play into that.IMO they need to be at 16PSI stock for best performance!

TexasShelby Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I'm in the desert at 2800 msl. 7 is about all I can get on a good day. 07 is right, it's all down to temp, humidity and altitude. Along with gas, a/c, TCS, it all makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdwaterHotrod Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 The Ford Factory setting on the Eaton model 122, Roots-type Super Charger should be 8.5 psi of boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car seemed sluggish today with the temp around 92???? rbrodder, I have seen a couple of stock cars that registered only 7psi and also dyno'd at only 415'ish. The culprit turned out to be the by-pass valve was not fully closing off during full boost conditions. Just something to check off the list............ sprint200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrodder Posted June 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Thanks for the replies. I think it must have been a combo of a few factors including, heat of the day, only finding 91 octane and not sure if the humidity in St.Louis has anything involved but it has 93 octane back in it and all seems fine? I am looking forward to some upgrades when the banker allows it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPRSNK Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Depends if you're going forward or reverse? :tease: Doesn't Reverse give you like 15psi for boost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharabi Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 7 or 8 even with lead foot................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt50035 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Average daily temps in Columbus, Ohio around 75-85 and 50-70% humidity. I am running stock at about 8-8.5 psi WOT. For stock cars, 90 degree days are the enemy of this car. I run around 7.5-8psi when temps reach in the 90's. The highest boost I have attained is 9.5-10 psi low humidity and around 50 degrees. FRPP CAI is inevitable for me... Does anyone know what the stock boost pressure should be at WOT?

Just something to check off the list............ sprint200 I seem to be one of these, 7 is the max I have seen on mine. Is there an easy way to check or test the by-pass valve myself, I always try to avoid the dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRQuarto Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 On a 70 degree day, WOT on the 5 FWY enterance near my apartment I see about 9lbs. With temps in the triple digits now and humidity being high lately, the car feels sluggish and my boost is limited to about 7lbs. CAI is already sitting my my apartment waiting to be put on, and I am still waiting for a writeup on the Killer Chiller that Farmdoggy installed.

CRQuarto Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Ok, Farmdog....are your ears burning...... +1 on Killer chiller................ What say you.......... LOL Yeah, I am really curious to see what he thinks. I wonder if it needs to be tuned for, like a water/methanol injection would? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
