And actually, the 1st design which I had we were topping out at 6-6.5PSI and they made some quick changes and sent out a new piece and we finally hit 8PSI.

Even still ....with intake restriction I can see the boost not going past a certain point ...but the supercharger is still spinning with rpm wouldn't it be still overspinning well over the maximum for the supercharger and running the risk of damaging the charger ?
