yeah, not enough fuel. also, on the dyno we messed with the boost elbow, on a stock truck, the boost elbow made 40 less hp then it did with the stock elbow, now with a modded truck running a box, we saw a gain of 25 hp, just food for thought

I know my superchips flashpaq doesn't and so I plugged my waste gate and put a BD boost fooler on it. It used to smoke quite a bit when i got on it and now its barely noticeable and the power difference is noticeable too

It limits the signal being sent to the ECM. At 23 PSI boost, i believe, the ECM will pull fuel back due to a "over boost", according to it. The fooler goes in series between your MAP sensor and engine harness.

My truck didnt make much boost... Then i clamped off the waste gate and added a Quad ADR... Then it made 40psi and really pissed of my head bolts!

I put a turnbuckle on mine, makes 35 psi with what is in my signature. But now wonder if need to be concerned with head bolts. If so, what would be safe psi, I can limit it with Ejw

You can limit boost with the EJWA. Head bolts fail at different boost pressures. Mine's been OK with 57psi, others come undone at 45.
