Boost Output??

Hey all-
I finally hooked up my Edge Juice last night and drove the X around just to get familiar with the display. I noticed that the boost seldom got over 7-8 under normal acceleration. Is that normal. I did get it up to 20 when I stomped on it... is that normal??
I can see how people blow headgaskets with these things It is very tempting to put it at level 5 (100hp) and just roast everything. But the little person on my shoulder is constantly reminding me that $2500-$3000 for head work isn't worth it.

My 7.3 shows about the same. Cruising at 65 its about 2-3 lbs. 5-6 for normal stop and go traffic.

Yes, be very leary. I have a 2003 F350 6.0 PSD. We chipped it with a Bully Dog and had all kinds of problems. Head gastket, fuel thickem ( the brain of the fuel system) all kinds of codes. Just a nightmare, and it's because I didn't modify the fuel, exhaust, head studs.
