Maybe he was talking about psia? Currently I'm running about 13.5psia and I have NO supercharger or turbo!

It sounds like he's blowing 50psi out his ***!

Ah - Eric's a dude in town, lives (or at least used to) down behind the Unibank. He's got a GN he runs with CMDR.

I've been meaning to ask if he is including atmospheric pressure in his calculations.
