[s-cars] Boost Gauge Face

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

Upon driving Uncle Bob's trach whore Avant this past
summer and admiring his SPI gauge install, I was
struck by how the gauge numbers went to 30PSI.
Surely, Uncle Bob wasted his money on those extra
numbers, no?
Well, I took the car for a run as he tossed me the
keys and threw his kids in the backseat for insurance
("So Joey don't get too enthusiastic, eh?  N-e ting
happens to may daughtah, you'll need dem scuba
lessons, sonny.") and off I went to I-84 and some
backroads.  The car pulled like a Brooklyn hooker
short of crack money and our own Ray T saw the gauge
go to 30PSI.  I called bullshit and soon ate my words
when I saw it hit up there.  So, it's possible...and
SWEET JESUS, DOES IT FEEL GOOD!
The car, that is, not Bob's daughter.
