do like my wife does, she grabs the bottom of the steering wheel and presses the brake as hard as she can. i can build about 7-8psi at the line with my 20's but i have a yank billet 3200. its very tight but as boost rolls in it climbs right to 3200. not sure if it helps or not but my timing in that area is rather low, 4-6* if that.
it probably helps that its AWD and has factory hydroboost and weighs 6020 with me in it.

I understand you dd but wanting to build boost and holding your engine to 2200 is contradicting. A 3000 stall would be streetable as your 2200. But then again $200 on a two step might get you happy and way easier than new converter.

Thanks for the replies. I think you are all right. I am going to eventualy buy a better converter, a 2step, and definitly will log my timing at the track tonight to see if I can add some down low. THANKS for your input!
Side note. What is my new 222/226 599/598 116+4 cam gonna do to this set-up???

To b honest I didn't realize it was so low until about two weeks ago when I was doing some more tuning. I hadn't touched the tune in over a year and want to play with it some. I have since adjusted it and it's way peppier off idle but I haven't been to the track so I can't say if it helped or hurt the luanch.
