Default basic mods

Bone stock engine, save for basic pump tweeking. I hung a pyro and boost gauge. At WOT it peaks at 1150* and 20 psi... Are these safe numbers? Cruising at 80mph she runs 900* and about 8psi... I have not towed with it yet, and that is my biggest worry, along with factory lift pump... Any advice is appreciated!!!

It depends on where you have your EGT probe at. If it is before the turbo, those are ok numbers.

Sounds good. Make sure to downshift when towing to keep EGT down.
