I usually crank the car 7 or 8 times.Or untill compression stops increasing majorly

 

i posted in a different thread but i dont know if this is good or bad..

at normal operating temps, pull the sparkplugs and either pull the fuel pump relay or what i do is just unplug the injector clips. put the pressure gauge in the spark plug hole, make sure it reads 0, then crank it over. i crank 7 times, but some people do like 5. make sure you are keepin the car at wot while you are cranking. very good that you are checking before using forced induction.

 

5 or 7 times around could be a difference of 40 psi. so then would you go with the 7 times around number?

 

just crank untill the psi's stop going up greatly
