I have hit 34 PSI of boost with my truck. With a good hot tunes. It's easy to hit 34 or 35 PSI.

Originally it would "bounce" up to 30 if I worked it. Now,since the VXCF9 flash,it's a max of 27 - 28. I guess this is a result of the flash,at least that's when I noticed the change,maybe just coincidence ? OK by me,better safe than sorry. I really don't see much if any difference in performance.

Highest recorded on my Edge in the last few months is 28psi, including towing a 10k trailer in there.

Matt changes the curve for the Map sensor. Even with a real boost gauge I only hit 30 in overdrive with the converter locked. Something is not right.

Those who are making over 30psi, what tuner are you running and what strategy is in your truck?

I was runnin a bullydog triple dog power pup. That's 34 PSI was the reason the bullydog out look monitor showed.

I got SCT tuner now. Downloaded some archive tunes I found on an thread on here. Only hit bout 22 to 24 psi now. Not at 18 psi my truck takes off like a raped ape.

For not having studs what would be a good safe #?
Can you trust the factory sensor if you use a SGII
to show what pressure your making?

How much boost?

Well, maybe too much today!!!!

First time I have blown off my CAC tube from the turbo.

I need new clamps, too many times removing them I think!
