How much boost you got??

Just wondering how much boost everybody's making with there pulley/pulleys? I hate to admit this, but i have been running my boost bypass wrong every since i bought my truck(4months). I had the line off the accuator "T'd" into the wrong place and had the accuator capped off. I copied another lightning from around here and just didn't know any better. Well i just discovered mine was wrong so i fixed it and BAM my truck went from 13-14psi to 15-16psi-even 17psi the other night on the interstate(it was very cold). I replaced my 2.800 upper today with a 2.910, (which i made myself) and I'm still getting 14psi and it pulls to 15psi around 100mph. Is this normal? my mods are in my list, other than the upper pulley. thanks

With 6lbs and JLP Cool Air, I see @15/16,
With 4lbs and JLP Cool Air, I see @13/14
sometimes a little more with real cold air

Either way with temps in 60's and colder
I can't give it any gas, or stay in it when it hits 2nd
and goes sideways

I show around 13 on the stock gauge...it is WAY over towards the tach with my 4# lower. That might go up a little more with the Apten port

Iv seen almost 11 pounds with stock boost, airaid intake, and boost bypass. But it was 25 degrees when I did it.

Hopefully now that I have money, that will go up when I get a pulley and chip within the next few weeks.
