I ran 12 psi on my 6.0L with the STS 60-1 and it seemed fine. Try 10 first then turn it up.

Boost is addictive so start at a normaly point and start walking it up slowly, remember its for the fun of it,

i'm about to bypass the radiator trans cooler. or should i say trans heater. i have the factory external cooler. but it doesn't help when the rad cooler is 217* or so. the iats droped to like 110 right when the meth came in.


i have a issue with my meth now too. some reason some times the red low press light comes on and i get kr and it gets really lean. then i test it at home and it works and the next day it will work for a while then later that night it will stop working again. its coming on but with low pressure. could something be cloging the hole in the resivior or what??

You may be getting are in the line. Some pumps will lose their prime and it will allow air in the line, which will cause low or no pressure.
