Victory!

My new mechanical gauge came and I got it installed and voila!
50 psi at idle cold, 20 psi at idle hot, plenty of psi with rpm. I am a happy guy! Feels great to know she's got plenty. Thanks for your help guys.

My truck isn't on the road right now. So I wasn't driving while looking at it.

I don't drive it in the winter. My paint was too expensive to ruin. Not to mention, the more money I save not driving it the more I get to spend on mods.

Thanks alot, man. Always nice to hear complements. Yeah, I know it's not winter yet.. not even close. There's a few things I need to do anyways. Emissions needs to be done, and I new cats/exhaust. o2 sensor, IAC, intakes leaking, starter spins but doesnt engage sometimes. Lots of little crap. Believe me I really want to bring her out but it just doesn't make sense at this point in time.

That video doesn't do it justice. The pipes are only an inch from that back wall. I'll have to take a new video. I just have to find my camera to computer connecting cord.
