As i was driving to work this morning (now this was the first time i drove my car in about a month, not a daily driver) my intercooler was reading about 60 degrees. i got on it hard in first and second and my boost gage jump up to about 9lbs close to 10lbs of boost now the most i have ever seen was 7lbs and that was back in august when it was warmer. when i had it dynoed the guys said he only seen 5lbs in fourth gear. so my question is should you see the same amount of boost in all gears and if i seen 9-10lbs today what would that do for me as far as power, when it was dynoed i seen 310rwhp at 5lbs of boost back in august it was about 95 degrees and we are at 4500 feet.

Was your dyno sheet SAE corrected?

If yes, you should end up with the same HP number regarless of conditions.

When it is colder your car will make more actual power.

so you are saying if it was SAE corrected and even if i have about 4 to 5lbs more lbs of boost it will still be the same. i will find out if it was SAE corrected. thanks though Saleen mike

Obviously if you're pulling more boost you're going to pull more numbers. Nothing heart stopping, but you will see an increase. On colder days, you can expect to see a few pounds more of boost but nothing exceptional.
