    I was wondering how much boost should a 2002 dodge automatic build? It is pretty much stock besides a 65 hp superchip d-box.

    Anything over 21psi will set overboost code.

    check the clamps on the intercooler boots (all 4). the lower left boot is notorious for rubbing on the inner fender seam and getting a small hole...
