Boost levels while towing????
I was wondering that some of the boost levels you guys see going down the highway and relatively flat ground? I purchased a 8.5x20 ft V-nose car hauler trailer and i'm running higher boost then I thought i would be. at 60mph I am running around 6 to 7lbs of boost. and if I go 70 to 75mph i'm at about 10lbs. I use to have a 28ft travel trailer and i didn't remember running this much boost.

That sounds about right.I see many different boost readings during different road conditions(hills).Running flatland at 70 I get about 5-7.It is very responsive when passing or hilly areas.

I tow everything from 6k-12k. I usually put 20-28k on my trucks between daily driving in the city, towing various things, and driving 300miles non stop empty/loaded.
