more boost the better

How about 87psi on the street at only 2000RPM in 3rd. I don't think my eyes could of been any bigger while looking at the boost gauge. I'm a little scared to think what she would of hit in OD...

Honestly the truck felt soooo much quicker running 80+ then at 65psi you could actually feel it. The only problem at 87psi thre is about 15psi drop across the intercooler. There something for somebody to sell..... get a 15psi increase in boost just remove the intercooler. Actually I'm a little suprised we didn't crack that thing.



Its a little scary when a truck that weighs 6500 lbs that is used for towing, and is supposed to get around 18mpg, can break the tires free while slowly rolling on the throttle at 50mph.



Chris, how much did the Dana 80 add to the truck for weight??

That's interesting, did you measure 87psi pre-intercooler or after? Any data on temperature drop across the intercooler?

CRoth--about a 100lbs give or take-----chris

You might try ditching the grid heater or grinding out the 1/4" step inside the stock cast intake plenum. I went for the big bertha model.

Are you guys running the stock intercooler? Will thos bigger charge lines make much difference with the stock cooler?
