Finally hit 20psi on boost!

I was testing to see if I was getting for fuel pressure drop. I was going up a short steep hill and hammered it and finally got to see it hit 20 whoohoo!

I was surprised also, the best before that was 15-17. It was a short dirt hill, maybe 60 yards long, but a pretty good incline then it goes to about half the incline. At the bottom I got into it and just kept feeding it throttle. I think pressure dropped into the mid to low 40's.

You should be able to hit 20 with stock injectors. IMO.

Just need to lug the motor down long enough, thats all. =)
