62lbs boost and 72ebp is nothing to complain about. That's not too far off from what I see right now.

the other thing is being able to tune the turbos individually. a dashdaq maximizer will help a ton , that's how I tuned mine. driving my atmo right up to the surge line was the most power in the truck. that was with high powers. its a fine line of how you gate, how you fuel, and how you gate. this is where 2 gates is really optimal. more bs but WAY more fine tuning.

I totally hear you on all of that, and mine it still a work in progress as well. Runs very well, but the gates probably aren't set up as efficiently as possible. But his set up just bypasses the turbos, so unfortunately he can really only limit back pressure with in turn causes it to make less boost. On the positive side, it is much easier/simple in what he's trying to do. The maximizer is a good idea, don't you have them Mike?

Just a heads up. My truck caught fire tonight and is a total lose. There wont be any more updates on the truck for obvious reasons. I'll never again do everything that was done to this truck to any other vehicle. It's all gone just like that. Thanks for all the good advice. Just numb at the moment.

Damn man... Really hate to hear that. What the heck caused the fire?

dmkolb · Oct 28, 2014

Not sure. I took it to the shop to have an alternator put in it and I dropped it off at night. 30 minutes later after I left it was on fire. I'll probably never know for sure what happened.

That sucks! At least you weren't in it at the time...trucks can be replaced.

is anything salvageable at all?

ncollins64 · Oct 28, 2014

^whs. atleast you weren't hurt. Trucks and stuff can be replaced. Still sucks to hear

08SUPERKING · Oct 28, 2014

Dam not good at all....

CT9AIX · Oct 28, 2014

Sucks man, but like mentioned above, the truck can always be replaced. Hopefully the insurance pays out pretty well and you can get into another one

alradco · Oct 28, 2014

Damn, sorry to hear that.

powerstrokedkid87 · Oct 28, 2014

that sucks man......give it time, youll have the itch again. Hopefully insurance does what its suppose to.

madman1234509 · Oct 28, 2014

Any worries about it being vandalism? Any chance the shop has cameras facing where the truck was parked? Crazy if it happened after the truck was parked and shut off. Sorry about you're loss. I'd be devastated.
