Booster Guage
Exactly what is the "booster guage" supposed to read? Mine seems to ride normally at the bottom of the left on the guage and if I step on it, it gets to about half. What is this measuring?

the air that the supercharger is forcing into the engine from the spining of the rotors in the */C. THe boost gague should read just under 10 at WOT without mods.

The - side of the gauge is vacuum while the + side is your boost. At idle you should be close to -8 or so while at WOT you should see somewhere around +6 if your stock. It is actually gauging manifold pressure.

Thank you and I will check my guage on the drive home - nice to have another excuse to try the "supercharger" and make everything is still perfect!
I appreciate the help.

You own those cars and you didn't know what your boost gauge is.
