I’m not sure if I should proud or ashamed of that.
The next data-logging session will still be with the 35psi boost limit so we can make a meaningful comparison between the performance of the 6.0 CAC and the Tapercore. We’ll see how brave I am after that and may up the boost limit during the same excursion.

Doesn't matter, as long as you are happy with what you are doing on a daily basis, you are good to go.

I upped the boost limit. Other factors are at play now with regard to maximum boost reached.
EDIT: It looks like I messed up setting the higher limit. I will have to redo the second round of runs.

Hard to say when ambient temperatures are some 50+ degrees lower than when I logged with the 6.0 intercooler. Let’s put it thia way, MAT is lower than IAT with the Tapercore when cruising. That was not the case with the 6.0 intercooler.

what are your egt's at max boost set and rpm's at 3500 ? I can't really see gauge , but it looks like past 1200. I'm just curious as a comparison to what I'm getting. Do you feel you experience turbo lag a little when hammering the pedal? What is your max APP when hammering it ? I'll give you my data I got so far as a comparison. I'm not sure how to do all that fancy video stuff, but perhaps someone going to the N.GA. Meetup can help me post a few runs. I know for sure my egt and boost are way lower that what i expected on my setup. I've been recording some runs lately and I'm still trying to figure out the data enough to be useful to others.

EDIT: Oops, just realized I failed to answer your first question. In the Economy tune, EGT tops out at 1,200. In the Performance tune, it just keeps climbing the longer I keep my foot in it. I think it's because of the controller limited boost. I am slowly working my way up to the point where boost is limited by fueling and not the VGT/VNT controller.
*blush* You're welcome. There's another acronym for your parody video: IDGB!!!

The 6.0 CAC isn’t much of an upgrade. I’ve put these in a couple of trucks and found no noticeable/measurable change.
