Low Boost

Recently I have been paying attention to my boost readings, I have noticed I peak at 33 lbs. this is with the Juice on 0 as well as up to 5. There has been no decrease in power that I can feel, smoke output is normal, little to none on the low levels and impressive on 4 and 5, the truck has never stumbled and it idles well except for one time about three weeks ago there was an excessive vibration for about 30 sec. just after startup. I have also noticed that intermittently I have to crank a little longer but not very prolonged. Air filter is clean, fuel filter changed. Lift pump? I ran an EZ for about three months after I got the truck but never on anything but level two, Relief valve? Never any trouble codes. Do I have a problem that needs investigating or is this not that abnormal. Of note all of the max boost readings were obtained by rolling into the throttle WOT starting in third and so on on entrance ramps. Would I make more boost in different conditions?
Thanks, Jay
