nope. none that i could think of. i know each truck runs a little different then another but thats a big difference between our trucks. same applies to how some trucks only make 12 psi stock and others hit 20 stock with no problems. it still irks me that some of you guys are hitting 28-30 psi with the same mods as me and i have to struggle mine to just tap 20 for a split second. if you blink you will miss it.

but what do you hit regualrly?

figure i have a cihp, full exhaust, intercooler, icp mod, fpr mod, ccv mod, intake, and after each shift i drop to 8-10 then a slow climb to normaly 15-17 but if i hold the gear manually to the rev limiter i can just tap 20psi before the limiter kicks in

Where is everyone tapped in, and what size line do you run to the gauge? Is everyone running mechanical gauges?

8 psi revving out of gear IS great. Under power, that would suck. I've seen 26 so far. That'll likely change when I get the stage 1's in.

I can hit 35 psi with the mods that I have. I get nothing park or neutral though.
