Not necessarily. You've got some sort of upgraded injectors.

I agree that you must have bigger injectors. I just got a stock truck and even after putting my chip in it I couldn't get any smoke, even with the chip in extreme.

Welcome to FTE! Glad you showed up. Aaron's my buddy lol. Ive been around for all these mods and have rode in the truck. I havent seen it hit 32, but ive seen it hit 26 a few times and I can attest, it smokes! First thing i checked when i rode in it was if its a cali truck-its not. Idk why but that f250 has more power than mine does and we have all the exact same mods (minus my stacks).

With stockers and a chip it's going to be tough to break 1200. You also shouldn't see much more than 20psi.

I will admit, i have only hit 32psi one time. The highest i could ever get it after that is 30, but i can do that regularly.

With good sealed plenums and stock sticks 25psi is very doable if it hit 32 then those injector are atleast 120cc

Did i say 7.4? I mean 74

That 7.4 came from an iphone app, that messures 0-60 times, could be very inaccurate, but until proven otherwise ill stick to it.
