Default Gauge question.

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find info on what I should set some gauges at? I have a 08 Mustang GT with a Edelbrock E-Force supercharger on a stock 4.6 block. My question is what should I set the oil pressure and boost limits to? I've heard the E-force puts out 5 or 6 pounds of boost but I can't find it in writing. Any help would be great. Thanks

My understanding is the E Force uses the Eaton 2300 TVS compressor unit and is roughly 5-6 psi (depending on air temp).
I wouldn't be worried about a specfic boost level (as it's just a measure of restriction in the air flow). I'd look at the actual rwhp/rwtq number you put down after the tune, and make sure you're not over powering the stock bottom end.
If you want to adjust boost, it's all in the pulley size (smaller gives you more boost, bigger gives you less).

Thanks for the intel. I appreciate it.
