Re: More boost on MSP?

The fuel/spark cut that you speak of is not based on boost levels, it is based on airflow readings from the MAF sensor. You can boost say 12psi on a warm day before hitting it, but then that night you could be hitting it at 9psi. This is because as the air gets colder it gets denser, making it easier to max out the MAF. The same thing can happen from just adding a higher flowing aftermarket intake. You get more flow through the MAF, and it is easier to hit the cut.

Everything else is correct though. Oh, except it's JoeP, not JoeB.
