Max boost depends on how loaded the truck is and how hot it is. Definately above 30 psi unloaded and can approach 40 psi under the right load and heat buildup.

With DPF delete, and tuner I have seen 52psi towing 10K up a good grade....empty while under WOT I can see 42-46 all the time.

Before I did the tune and DPF delete I never seen 40, and hardly ever 30psi...but then again, I only had it stock for like 700 miles.
