Google says that's above 26 psi. Was the 11 second run on a full mile?

My truck is a ecsb 4X4. I was right around 180kpa in 3rd gear on my runs and a little lower in 1st and 2nd.

Technically it is 26psi if you count atmospheric pressure into to it. For me 180kpa at sea level is 11.5psi.

The 26psi is psia (atmosphere)...Atmospheric pressure is ~14.5 psi (depending on sea leavel) so subtract that from 26 and you have 11.5 psi or the actual psig (gauge).

My STS died about 2 weeks ago, so I involuntary jumped ship.

I'm prolly going back to bone stock when time permits, and sell my cam/springs/STS leftovers/misc....
