ATTN: Techs and Programmers - Looking for Average Parameter Readings

Ok guys as I mentioned in my other thread I have picked up a MSD Dashhawk and have been working with their software engineers to get the parameters up and running for the 6.0. I need your help though as I am not entirely sure what readings I should be seeing on some of these parameters (or what they are in the first place on some). I figure the Techs and Programmers will know more about some of these readings but everyone else is more than welcome to chime in if they can help.

I am looking for average ranges/readings for the following parameters so I can help MSD verify they are working correctly. Please assume an unloaded truck in average settings (outside temp in the 70s, flat roads, mix of city/highway driving) since that is what most of my testing is going to be done with. Also, now that I think of it, maybe we should include where warning levels should be set and where damage may occur (for stuff like oil/trans temp etc).

Engine Coolant Temp
Engine Oil Temp
Engine Oil Pressure
Intake Air Temp
Intake Manifold Pressure
Exhaust Gas Temp
Barometric Pressure - (I assume around 100kPa)
Fuel Pressure
RPM - (where should we set warnings and limits?)
Control Module Volts
Boost - (I assume 0-30 for most engines, warning at 30 and max at 35)
Mass Air Flow Sensor

Also, if we get good feedback here maybe this thread could get added to the Tech folder for anyone wondering about their guage readings.

If you have any questions about the Dashhawk itself please keep them in my other thread so we don't get too off topic in here.
