one thing to remember about boost is that the number only means something to that specific engine. two 454's with blowers can have the same boost but very different power numbers. why? boost is read in the intake, not the cylinder. if the heads do not flow or the valves are very small then you can have a higher boost and still not get it to the cylinder to make power. a good flowing head, cam and exhaust will make more power with less boost than a bad flowing head, cam and exhaust with lots more boost.
