Delays, delays....looks like possibly tomorrow now
Interesting... what boost level were you running? I've decided to use a 3lb. spring instead of the standard 5lb. and use the boost controller's two settings for a "medium", and "high". I know I'll use 5lbs. for the medium level, but trying to decide between 7 and 8lbs for the high setting. Do you think 8lbs would be too much for the higher cr LQ9? I know there are several who are running 10+ on stock 5.3's, but I haven't seen any info on what an LQ9 will put up with.

Depends on the tune, I feel that the LQ4 can handle 15psi if carefully tuned, the LQ9 could handle 2 pounds less.....

I am going to say 400hp, I think you are going to need more boost to run the numbers you want. But like stated above it depends on the tune. Some dyno's are able to load the turbo better than others. The dynojets are not able to load the turbo as well as the street. That is what I have heard. I was told that the dyno pack will load the turbo better. But that is just what I was told, I don't know for shure. 2 cents for you!
