Boost

I was just playing around and noticed on the scangauge that I'm only pulling about 20 pounds boost unloaded.when I first mash the peddle it jumps up to about 22 then back down to 20 and holds there,now this is not very far probably 800 feet and starting from about 55 mph.truck runs fine picks up speed fast,just thought maybe it should pull more boost.

I dont think the scangauge is very accurate on the boost. I believe it goes by your map sensor

The factory boost gauge is one of the few stock gauges that I actually trust.

Right around the 20 psi boost max is where people start seeing low power under heavy load and throttle, if you dont have that, your fine

Kind of normal with an egr delete. Flow more air you have less restriction. Lower boost in this case would not indacate an issue
