Default Colder Weather = More Boost?

I have a 4in pulley on my Comptech S/C. At 70-85' I log a maximum of 149KPA (7psi). While trying to get my idle correct tonight I went for a few runs at 58'F. Although I did not have traction through first or second, I did log 158KPA. Isn't that almost 1psi more?

Shouldn't that be 49 kPa if it is equivalent to 7lbs. 149 kPa would be about 21 psi, far beyond the abilities of the Novi 1000.

Sideways- we were trying to figure that out but ya I think it is actually 49kpa. It equates to 4.2v on our MAP sensore. The emanage group told me that 149kpa reading = 7psi

Another interesting find: My injector duty cycle is 100% at times with the colder weather. This is with 440's and stock FPR. What is the normal duty cycle with 440's?
