all boost is, is the stack up of air.

you could take a 3.4 pulley and one guy might boost 12 while another only boost 8. the guy with 8 is probably faster cause his motor can use the air effectivly. so effective that it eliminated 4 pounds that were just sitting around waiting to get used, now they are being used.
yes sir i lost a pound of boost from installing the pacesetters...gonna gain it back and then some with an IC and 3.0....still saving the dough
