Did I just get a bad batch?
First I've got a 07 nbs exc Z71 4wd with the 6.0 vvt eng. Not bad as a freeway cruiser above 50 mph, and decent mpg, but no grunt off the line even with the 3.73's, and a custom dyno tune. The B&B cat back exhaust had to be worked to fit and the dynatech headers had to be cut and rewelded to clear the cats, and then later to stop the leaks at the clamps.
I put a radix on it and even with the 2.8 pulley it is still not what I was expecting and a little on the noisy side. My 01 gmc C3 with a 6.0 LQ4 and a worked whipple had more beans, quieter, and better mpg.
The aeroforce gauge that I specifically purchased sendors with to show boost and fuel pressure, stopped showing those 2 parmeters within a month or so after purchase, with no reply from their tech group or warranty help.
In my quest to get some more boost at higher elevation (7000ft) where I live and run higher boost I installed a snow meth kit. After 2 weeks it started to malfunction and had to have the controller replaced. Now after another few weeks it's malfunctioning again, showing it's spraying w/o much boost and then the truck really runs like a turd.
I'm about at the point to take it all off and go back to stock, where the dod function had it getting 3-4 more mpg's, no ses light or surging, and I was confident I'd make it all the way home at night, w/o grenading the engine by dumping meth mixture in it on a constant basis while just cruising.

There are a couple of things that really blow about aeroforce gauges. first-they have issues. 4 of em-all had issues. second-they have NO ph # to talk to a live body. I've emailed the tech & warranty guys there twice with no reply. Posted something on their forum board and it was removed. nice!
