DSMs are in Karman. Hondas will show mm/Hg...pressure/vaccum. Karman is frequency. Find a way to convert mm/Hg to psi and you'll be set. You using 450cc's? otherwise i dunno how you're gonna ever see positive pressure. Late

of course i'm using 450's, well i don't know if there is an equation to convert mm/Hg into psi., so if anyone is running 8-9psi., just tell me what your afc reads for pressure and i'll be set.

It reads boost but I think it reads it in bar. It's under the moniter menu as pressure. I think like 11.5psi is equal to 1bar.

1 Bar = 14,7 psi (at sea level) although some will tell you it's 14.5..either way its insignificant for us...there's so much slop already going on on a HMT. late
