Default No difference between 8lbs and 14lbs boost!

OK I think I'm probably gonna answer my own question but thought I would post it here to confirm.

I was playing with the car up in the mountains yesterday. Started changing the boost up and down between 7 to 14. Honestly didn't notice any difference in power.

My guess is I really need to change the exhaust and downpipe(rather tiny). I haven't had the head ported so that might be the problem also?

Sounds like there is something more wrong if you don't feel a difference between 8 and 14 psi.

is the car tuned for 14 psi? if your tuned for 7psi raising your boost will just cause you to go lean.......

Did you add more air to that fuel?

Cars runs sorta rich but not to bad. It's tuned to run up to 20lbs but I have never tried it. As far as I know the hondata knew how to add the right amount of fuel no matter what the boost was at.
