Yes, anywhere between 15 and 18 without GMS1.

Thanks guys.. Is this car really reliable to power shifts on occassion because I have always beat on cars but because this one is new I am hesitant becasue I dont' want to blow the clutch as that is not covered under warranty.

NO clue that was the first time I have seen that much.. Maybe it was because it was from a downshift.. When I just floor it 15LBS is the norm..

You will see a little more from time to time depending on the weather, alt and load on the engine.

Once you get the GMPD upgrade kit most of us average 21-24 PSI.

Elevation, that special chill in the air, these critters will surprise you at times with bursts of incredible power, makes me smile

When it hits 29, hold on.
