PMS Scale - "Syndrometer"!

If you clicked to see this, chances are your first thought was "What new level of anality has Tugly reached now?" Welllll... I'll tell ya.

Boost! Let's just say max (realistic) boost is 50 PSI... so that would be the 100% level. For those with boost gauges, double your max boost and that's your PMS level... or you can divide that result by 10 to get a 1-10 PMS "scale".

I get 35 PSI on the "Syndrometer" (for now), so my PMS level is 70% - or a magnitude 7.0 on the "PMS scale".

Yet another fine example of poor utilization of my time.

I'm at a measured 54%. However, according to the NHRA, I get to multiply that result by 1.0563, so that puts me at 57.0402%, more or less.

Dude, you are not the only one.

Damn, I'm low. I'm only at 48. PAA must be working. Or maybe I need to change those up pipes I suspect are leaking...

Or maybe I need to read boost numbers at the turbo instead of AIH plug.

I'm at 65% or a 6.5. Interesting seeing as I have way less invested in my truck than stinky does...
