thanks for the heads up bobby; i was going to crank the timing and back off the full fuel a 1/2 turn or so so that boost pressures would be down... i know that cylinder pressures would increase drastically so i figured if i lowered charge pressure it's even out somewhere. i'll just back the fuel off abit and leave the timing where it's at

i'm just trying to squeeze a little more economy out of the truck around here, highway it does just fine. other than that i get lousy fuel mileage. plus i just re-ground my pin and sinc ei hav e ajunk boost gauge i cant tell anything over 20 psi... cant tell if i gained anything or not; all i know is my EGT's while driving normally are up from before and i dont seem to be going any faster... i figure its just wasted fuel w/o a better trans and turbo
