So today at the track I ran against my friends GS-T and he said he had it at 14 lbs of boost. He wouldnt tell me what he had done to it, but i know he has a new intercooler.
So I didnt dust him or anything, but i beat him by a car length or so.
Afterwards he goes "So how many lbs of boost are you running with your supercharger"
I was pleased to say only one thing.... "NA"

So..
you raced an unknown generation GS-T with 14 PSI (twice that of the normal atmosphere, with an unknown number of unknown mods, in your SVT and you beat HIM by a car length...
To where? eight feet down the road?
What mods do you have done?
'99 CSVT - Silver #222/276
In a constant state of blow-off euphoria.

I can see that. U beat an unkown DSM. Most of them are broken anyways...I could prob beat my buddies DSM that has a big 16g with FMIC and 21psi, and my car still has no motor. I <3 DSMs, 90% of the time they're only broken 60%. lol

Totally untrue statement. DSMs are only broken beacuse of the owners.  My brothers car is prime example of well done (he is at 250k miles MODDED).
As far as a DSM with a big 16G, FMIC @ 21psi....untuned yeah, a SVT maybe could edge it out.....tuned, FORGET IT.

Except that when the car is at 0 PSI, that's actually 14(atmospheric)PSI. Every additional PSI of boost pressure is added upon that pre-existing 14 PSI that is always around us. Keep in mind, nature will not tolerate a vacuum. So the Vacuum readings on a guage is actually just low pressure, not truely a vacuum. It's just less pressure than 14 PSI.
