so Mike T tells you to run only 8psi and you are running 10psi? good advise huh

I have to order a new pulley to run 8psi. I olny have a 6lb and a 10lb right now. My truck remains parked probably 300 days of the year, I hardly ever drive it. I only swapped the 10lb pulley on about 700miles ago so I'm not worried about it right now. When I properly tune my engine i'll run 8lbs and see how it pulls.

Mike T recommeded 8lbs to obtain maximum engine life under boost and still get good power. I am sure you can run lots more boost than that, but don't expect to get 200,000 miles out of your engine at anything over 8lbs.

Just what I was told, and since I have no experience with such things and mike has a lot of experience i'll take his word for it.

I only put like 7500 miles a year on the navi, and 25% of that is traveling to SC and back, so longetevity isn't really on the top of my list either
