Thanks guys.

So they run 30-40lbs of boost? (or did at one time, who knows now  . .
.)  Wish my daily driver could handle that . . .

Back to the long wait, guess I'll start tinkering in the garage!

David;

Dave is right; they use manifold absolute pressure and express it in
inches
of mercury (just like a barometer). If I remember right, sea level is
29.92"
Hg (or something close) which is equivalent to 14.7 psia.

They work in absolute so not all that much like 7 lbs.. Advance in and
boost in only to step it up LOL..

I figured Dave would have the real skinny . . .

Indy cars?  38" of boost is what in pounds?  (maybe it wasn't 38"  -
76"?  it sounded like a lot!)

David, thought it was advance out/boost in

boost and while at it step her up 2 more degrees of lead..LOL have you
