PSI rule of thumb
Say i have a vortech v-2 blower and i'm running 6 lbs. Is every lb of boost 15rwhp or does it vary? If i'm at 223 would i end up with 313?

For every 14psi you hp will double from NA power. so do the math. But take into consideration the elevation where you live.

Oh I see. Well how much can I boost with 10.1 compression (keeping it on 91 pump gas)

10.1 compression isn't that alittle high for boost that's more like what you'd want for nitrious

yeah its pretty high. Thats why I would boost a a lower number. Maybe 6-7 lbs. I've heard the most I can boost is 10lbs with an intercooler. But it will all depend on the tune.

Not so much the compression as the octane, might want to look into meth injection and/or intercooler if you want to increase boost
