as far as boost control goes whats the best way to control boost? spring pressure or elecronic boost controller? I was thinking about getting an electronic boost gauge along with a electronic A/F gauge
Yea all is good.
I try to Check prior to shipping that paper work and what's wanted match up.
Controlling boost depends on your final goals.
If you want to play with up down etc then sure.
If you want X and that's it no need.

Air/fuel gauge
Boost gauge
Are must for safety and diagnosis if a problem pops up.

You will 100% need injectors for anything close to 600 wheel. I have black ops 60 lbers and they are doing fine for my power level. You might need bigger ones.

If you are going to constantly be changing the tune/boost then an electronic boost controller would be best, if you are setting it to a specific hp or PSI then a manual hallman would be best.
awesome thanks for that link!

i guess seeing as i do not know how to tune i suppose a manual controller will be best. I look foward to hearing from you!

I would recommend that u do not use a boost controller at first. Put the 4 or 6 psi spring in the gate and hook up the vac line. Keep it simple for first start up and tune.

Same for fuel / meth. Get the kit installed and making power. Once your ripping. Then add injectors and meth. It's not like it's going to cost you more money and time not doing them now.

i didnt end up getting the boost controller i just went with the boost gauge and im going to run spring pressure...im kinda stuck between running 93 or e85. i wanna say that i have read when you run e85 you dont really need meth. then again i dont wanna go on a road trip and be limited to e85 since not many on the road places carry it. my goal hp is between 700-800

Remember that e85 flex truck uses a lot more fuel than 93. My flex truck was fine at 8 psi on stock flex pump and injectors. Not sure if they would have supported that much needed flow w e85.

As of right now that's the route imma go since e85 isn't as readily available here. I'm still trying to decide what to do about the trans (6l80e)

On the other hand tomorrow I leave back home and start waiting for my kit to arrive!

If you make the jump to E85 you'll love it. But there is a lot to it. Its not a 'go fill up with E85 and run your heart out' type of thing. You'd need a stout fuel system to keep up with the demand. I'm on E85 and it is some amazing stuff. I will never go back to pump gas but there are 10 or so stations around Las Vegas who carry corn.
