20 on the opposite side of the spectrum at idle which is about 800rpms.

I think you guys are right but my clutch is starting to slip already, my dealership thinks Il get a month maybe to out of it with spirited driving.

Well people have clutch issues with mods that you have, it will slip. But it would be a lot worse a lot faster. Trust everyone, you aren't running 17psi. Chances are, it was just wired up wrong. It happens and is a fairly easy fix, i'm sure it sucks hearing that but yeah.

With your current set up, you are probably pushing 240-250whp which would put it at around 8.5-9.5psi.

I told you in another post, your gauge is hooked up wrong
You have to have it hooked to a constant ignition source when the car is cranking. You have it hooked to an ignition source that goes open for a second when the car is starting. I found this out on my nissan truck that was pushing 13 psi and when it was hooked wrong it kept showing me from 16-20 psi hahaha.
