Approximately how much HP per lb of boost?

I know this is an over simplification of the HP equation but how much difference would 11lbs of boost compared to 15 lbs would be??? Just curious while waiting for some dyno time.


thanks

It varies greatly, but most people say about 15 HP/PSI.

I agree, there are many variables involved (compressor efficiency @ certain PRs, VE changes, etc), but overall it is better to look at it as a percentage increase.
