How much boost can you make in first gear?
On flat ground, not using the brake pedal, etc, how much boost can you make in first gear? I am mainly interested in numbers from a completely stock car or just with small changes, but most upgraded cars probably have too much of a traction problem anyway.

Well, when my car was "mostly" stock. I got about 15psi right at redline. Was just chips and rebuilt/shimmed WG and cat delete.
With stock exhaust and WG, I think most are lucky to see 12-13psi.

Mine's basically stock with chip and accuboost being the only performance mods I've got on my car. I can make 11-12 in first...and in 2nd...and 3rd....and etc. I've got a Tial to go on sometime soon that should fix that limit.

Mine is stock with a bad WG and the CV is still in use. I make ~7-8psi in first, 10psi in second, and 12psi in 3rd and up. However my boost will always taper off to 4-5psi by 5000RPM, so I am shifting short all the time.
