Ok here is somthing that will make you guys find it ok to run the peripheral port at such low boost, the car it is going into is a first gen with a 302 in it, he is going to keep the 302 in it, or will go with the peripheral port. I see your guys point that it is a waste of a peripheral port because you could make the same power with a streetport running higher boost, but it won't have as much as a "neat" factor lol

Also, you WILL be able to produce 17psi of boost on a PP, just that a PP will show more accurately the boost actually going inside the engine, as opposed to a street port, which is manifold boost (the port acts like a pressure nozzle).

savana, i think what shm21284 is talking about is volume, the same pressure through two different sized holes will yeild a different volume of air, and that is what makes the power.
