Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Boost wonderful Boost!!!!

[Smokin Joes 2500]

Alright i need help..... again... ... TDR rules, but my wife doesnt agree. Just hooked up gauges took truck out and ran the pee out of it, first time since I got it. Was seeing about 18-1/2 to 19 psi of sqeeze. Does this seem right remember I was draining her. Seems to me to pull real hard then sort of mellow out even at full boostage and all throttle. Ah maybe time for some upgrades. when should I first change my oil????? Got 1522 miles on first batch??? Thanks as always the best group of guys I dont even know

Hey Smokin Joe!



Your boost level seems about right. Your motor will start to de-fuel about 20 psi. Once you get some goodies to increase the fueling, then you would need some sort of a boost fooler to

increase boost without de-fueling. This can be done with a boost module or a fueling box like an Power Edge EZ or Comp.



Sit back, read, digest, and plan your bombs carefully. Much cheaper to do it once.



Have fun and welcome to the TDR!

The Edge EZ is good on a stock auto. It will give the Cummins a good kick in the a$$. BE careful with the Auto... especially in O. Drive. If you accelerate moderately, the torque convertor can slip in lock-up.
