Default boost and fuel plate suggestions

We are running a phatshaft turbo, 90hp injectors, and 16.5 degrees of timing on our fummins conversion with a 4" exhaust and a 3k gsk. Truck is used for heavy towing quite a bit in the range of 32,000-40,000 lbs gross. We plan to install head studs soon. What would b a good fuel plate for this application and also how high can we go with the boost. Its set at about 22psi now. I was thinking more in the neighborhood of 40psi. Also looking for good fuel mileage when not towing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

try stock at full advanced and play with your afc and star wheel a little bit before buying one, but a 100 would be good other wise, also you really don't need head studs until mid to high 40's just retorque your stocks

Yeah Thats what we were doing for awhile with the stock plate and tuned afc, until now, its time for a tune-up. I decided to try and regrind stock plate myself to a tst#10. All I can say is awesome. Now if i can get the phatshaft to spool to 40 psi we'll be set. Thanks for the info on the headstuds, I was wondering about that.
