On a side note guys, how hot is the top of your supercharger after a drive. I was a little surprised that I was able to put my hand on top of it while bleeding it. Seems like I’m getting AT LEAST 7.5 PSI of boost per the gauge on my dash, so it seems that it’s working?
That's below spec, though. Yes, the gauge in the DIC is only an approximation, but you should see 9.5 at least, and I've seen the needle cross the white 10 psi tick on stock ZL1s. It's possible that you weren't able to bleed out all the air, and the 2 psi you're missing is worth 40-50 hp.
