How much boost will I lose? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

eLeSthree · 02-22-2018, 05:28 AM

I just installed the ESS Tuning kit (tuner kit), and I'm working on fueling with my tuner.

I opted for their smallest pulley, which will make 12psi on a stock cam, stock exhaust motor. I dont have a stock cam, nor stock exhaust, and I'm trying to figure out just how much boost I'll be making.

Anyway to figure that out besides trial and error?

cam is 226/236 525/525 110, exhaust is TSP 2inch lt, with 3 inch exhaust.

How was the install? I installed a Maggie on mine, fairly straight forward.

It's a new kit, so they are still working on the instruction manual. I had a few speed bumps due to that, but overall not bad. I recently did a ProCharger on my buddies 2015, and I think the preformed silicon hoses in the ESS kit make life a lot easier. I'll write a review after it's tuned.

Boost is just a number,so if that 12psi dropped cause of what you have now thats a good thing, most likely you are making that same power with less boost and less restrictions, hope i explain that right

Understood, but theres a big difference between 6 and 12 psi.

I would guess in the 9-10 psi range. The less pressure on outlet of blower the more efficient it will be also.
