Neither one of my Fords have gauges.... looking at AE data though,
F450 = 36
Excursion =36 ish
My cummins how ever will hit 54lbs of boost when you stand on the loud pedal so...
Cummins = 108

The Cummins is surprisingly close to stock. It has ARP head studs, Southbend Clutch, and a Raptor fuel pump. The rest of it is just as it came from the factory, 276K miles ago, same turbo, injectors, with the waste gate still hooked up and working. A Blue Chip FMS box provides all the fueling. http://www.bluechipdiesel.com/fms_box.html
(The head studs were added after 270K miles of thrashing and 50psi of boost lifted the head.... now I hardly drive it. Just to church on the weekends )

I have:

  2. ...not even glanced at the race tune yet.
My issues have given me pause, so Stinky has spent more time in Stock mode and parked than he has letting it all hang out. My stock-ish PMS level is 44%.

Your Fords are stock-ish and the Cummins isn't-ish.

It won't do any good. I make words up as I go, and I leave it to the victi...readers to sort it all out.

You should crowd 80% PMS with that air and those nozzles.

When I bought my F-450 it had a 0-15 psi boost gauge. I thought needle was going to fly off that thing whenever I mashed the go pedal.

Well I just put in the 60 psi gauge today and only made one run with the truck for the sole purpose of this thread.

So far I'm at 88% but my wife would strongly disagree with that statement!
