Don't know how I missed this thread yesterday, but thanks for pointing that out, Scheides, that was my first thought when I read the first post.

And beyond that, you won't notice a huge difference with a few extra psi because there won't be a huge difference in feel, despite the fact that it may make a huge difference in numbers. A good example of this that we've all heard about is my car vs ylime's. She put down ~50awhp more than me on MAP's dyno and beat the fuck out of me on the highway, and yet when I rode in it, my butt dyno didn't feel anywhere near as large of a difference as I was expecting for that kind of gap.

You can't rely on feel alone to tell you how much of a gain you're seeing.
