Default T-72 Front mount, it finally runs!

Well I finall was able to make some good runs on my truck.
99 gmc
6.0, cam, 4l80e, 3400 stall, t-72 front mount!
All I can say is wow!!!!
Only 7 psi and I can break them loose at 45. I really need traction now.

This is the first time I tune a turbo. I did a sd tune and I am still learning on it.
Would it be recommended to do a 2 bar sd tune or should i just stick to what I have?

You would probably benefit from switching to a 2 bar SD tune....that's what most of the FI guys who do their own tuning are running.

I would like to look at the tune.
I already have a 3bar sensor that i use th read the boost with my aero-scan gauge, i wonder if i could tie into it or would i have to use another one.

What software? If your gonna run less then 15lbs of boost, your better off with a 2 bar sensor, as you will have better resolution in the tune tables.

Do you have a part # on the 2 bar?
For now I wont run more than 12 psi, if i can keep my hands off of the boost controller, lol!
My plans are to forge the engine in about 3 months, then it will be more than 15psi.
