22psi? I'd question the accuracy of the gauge. Most stock engines can't make more than 15-18psi peak. Spec is 12psi, +/- a couple of pounds. Extra boost doesn't make power, it just overheats the intake air charge and increases EGT's... not good.


correction; more psi will get you more power - you'll have to come up with more fuel is all.
