Where's the boost?

Hey guys, my autometer usually reads 13-14#'s of boost...but have never driven in HOT weather since the mods. Now its 85-90 degress & humid and I cant get it to go past 11-12. That is "technically" accurate since I just have a 4# pulley but I was just wondering if it was the cool winter/spring air giving me the extra boost and is it common to lose 2-3#'s of boost due to heat and humidity? Thanx y'all....

Tinnman,

Hey dude! Yeah that's the way it is with this hot and humid weather. The air is much more thicker, so you have less boost. Welcome to the world of superchargers! ;)
