I am going to install my auotmeter gauge and get an accurate boost reading before I can any pulleys and will let you all know what it was reading.
What the...? I run 15psi of boost and my stock needle goes no where near that position when at max boost. So with stock pulleys and an apten port your stock needle is going parallel to the floor (9 oclock). I think either your gauge or my gauge is broken

We all know the stocker is not accurate. I will report back once I get the autometer gauge in.

Your gauge is either broke or your full of chit Dont take it personal but Im bettin on the later, you are correct the stock gauge is not accurate but its does not and cannot sweep to the 9 o'clock position. It has a stop that wont let it sweep much past( before since our gauges go counter clockwise) 12 o'clock. I have a 6lb lower and my stock gauge reads close to 11, with a autometer connected externally(Not mounted) in cold air I see 15.5lbs and stocker still stays between 11-12 o'clock.

Guys settle down! My darn boost gauge goes twice around and then, get's pegged at the 8 o'clock position. Don't know how fast I was going, but Holy *Christ* the telephone poles were flying by!

Man, that was good weed...

Always has to be some **** sucker with nothing better to do on this site. If you are gonna pick every little comment apart spend your time finding a cure for cancer instead of being some little internet c*cksucker--that does not just go out to you Big Fan but to all the little women on here that start **** for no reason.

Wow nice of you to use all those censored words. Now since you quoted me I will answer, I dont know why you would make up a story, why did your buddy SITTINON23S(or whoever he was) make up all sorts of stuff you told us was BS ? I, along with many others are just telling you your guage wont sweep to the 9 o'clock position. So that leaves us to what I said earlier, Your full of chit or gauge is broke. Im still betting on the later

yeah sorry for the rant but there is always someone on this site that picks out the smallest negative thing to throw a tread to schitt.
If that was not your intention then I apologize, but F U for even implying I am full of schitt. Too busy to make up stories. For those people that know me on here, if I said my boost gauge went to 9 oclock then they know that it was fact that it did.
You more than welcome to swing by and I will take you for a ride and you can see for yourself. Maybe your truck is just slow that his why u don't see 9 oclock

Enough of the kiddy name calling, I will update this tread on Monday, I will be installing the auto meter gauge probably on Sunday and will give you an ACCURATE boost reading.





PS.: I have no clue about mysvtsitiohafafjdoafds23s

Perhaps the Full of chit comment was a little sarcastic, on that same note. Ive enjoyed my slow truck all summer. Ive run a few 12.6s, been auto crossing,road racing and few cruises and its all better than a jackstand queen

Peace Out

So I guess you know more than the people who tune trucks
Just dumping raw fuel into the upper pleumn doesn't prove a thing. Keep talking the smack, because when I put the smack on your a$$..........you will be speechless.
I know, YOU being speechless is hard to believe

#1. I NEVER said I know more, I simply stated you didn't HAVE TO.
You wanted to

#2. What we got here my good Buddy, is old school vs new school.

you go and put like another 3 k in yours between each season.
me, I spend like $24.00 on a new set of jets


















BUT THEN WE GO OUT THERE, AND I STILL WHOOP YO ***


Oh and #3. I'll NEVER be speechless (even if you FINALLY win one)

maybe if you didn't spend 25K on a work car, you could afford to spend a little on your truck

or a toupee





And here's a little food for thought........

You seem so pleased that the last time out you ran a quicker time by 1/1000 of a sec, but yet your truck was slower

Do you think that maybe, just maybe, I might have rolled out of the throttle because you where behind me.
Remember looking at my tailgate? I bet you do, but that will just get in the way of you yapping...........LMAO

And you are right.........Iam spending more money on my truck. So you will still have the same view of my truck!


Would love to contintue this, but another overtime day calls...LOL
