Do you have any more information to go along with this? Does it ever get above 8?

Kinda looks like you should downshift. These pull best above 2000 RPM.

well mine seames to like the low end if i get over 2500 rpm it's just a dog, but if i keep it under 2200rpm it will gain speed fast? it's a 2000 f-350 drw 4.10's 4x4. it's the low end torqe i was told. it don't have a problem with the load i just thought if u could boost the turbo output would = more hp = more mpg's. just a thought
