Boost creep still ok?

Hi all,

took my car out for a drive yesterday...weather's been fair the past couple of days with temps reaching only the upper 60s, low 70s. Now I originally had high boost tuned for 15.5psi but with the cooler weather, i'm seeing about 17psi. I know i can go play with the boost controller and turn it down a bit, but my question is whether i am still safe driving with 17psi on my current state of tune. Should i actually tune the car for 17psi? thanks all.

Unless you are tuned for 17psi, I would try to avoid running that high. You are probably in a P cell beyond where Dave tuned. Could be dangerous, but you don't know without tossing on the WideBand.
