1 Thinking about checking the boost gauge 30 psi to high shouldn't be no more 12psi 15 psi max

not to sure on 93 about timing sent non puter i would think no diff then old 6.9 ford where u just turn the pump hair to the right. but i could be wrong

yea no 6.5 can handle 30-40psi for long. your going to be looking at cracked heads and blown apart pistons before much longer if you keep running it at the much. even under load they should not hit more than 16 or so. mine with a 7k load behind it going up a 4% grade wont even hit 16.
