O.K. I hear you all talkin about starting your car and "boosting it up" to about 5 psi or so. I assume this is in park, well my car is basically stock and I have an aftermarket boost gauge and it gets maybe 1 psi in park when revved even to 6000 rpm's is that normal??!?!
Also, I can only get 1-2 psi power-braking it is that normal as well??
thanks!
It shouldn't get any boost in park. They are talking about power braking it. Get some bigger brake shoes for the back brakes and you should be able to hold a little most boost at the traffic light or the drag strip. I cant hold much more then 2 or 3 psi. Havent put my bigger brake shoes on yet.

Install Chevy S-10 manual brake cylinders in the rear. You will have no problems holding 7+ lbs.
What "bigger" brake shoes do you suggest? See, I like Evan though that you could spool up like 5lbs on a stock set up.
