Let me get my tunes straightened out and I'll test out more boost.
Ben, I haven't noticed a drop in boost up high, although I haven't really done many high rpm bursts with it in the last day. To be honest, it looks like it gains about .5 psi as it gets to the 6000 rpm mark.

im lucky to see 10-12* at 8 psi. Hmmm i think my tune needs a revamp
Check your pm's bigtex.

I got your PM and I'll take a look. You really need to be able to do your own tuning. Mail order stuff should be better than a hypertech, but it won't give you near the benefits of being able to tune yourself as needed.

for my vacuum / boost gauge I hooked it up to the vacuum line off of the intake that went to the fuel rail regulator.
for my boost gauge I taped the 90 on the pressure side of the bypass value next to the blower.
my fuel gauge is hooked up to the shredder value. i removed the value from the inside, twisted a loop in the line, filed it with oil, set the gauge up inside the cab in the piller pod
1 tells me how much boost the blower makes
2 tell me how much boost pressure is inside my motor
3 tells me my fuel pressure during boost when my fmu kicks in

Does 29* make more than say 25* on this setup? Many knowledgeable guys would say that 29* isn't needed and no more power would be produced. I say that if you can run 29* timing, you need to pulley up!
