I ran 10-11 psi with my stock 4.8 the only thing it had was my lunati cam 558/558 lift 221/221 dur 114 lsa( For sale). I didnt even have a stall convertor and I was running 13.4's at my local truck. I think my 60' times where 2.1 but Im not for sure. I dont have any pulleys I sold everthing to cammin03.

I was using the 3 3/4 for 11 psi and I think the 3.5 will give you 13. If you really want to turn the boost up you can order a pulley from asp its a 3" and that will probley give you 16-17 psi

If any thing the truck should be lighter than normal. The front sway bar has been removed, and it has a fiberglass tailgate and rollpan. It has never pulled a trailer and I am single and don't mess with the fat chicks.

seems like your dyno numbers are pretty low for your setup, maybe get those iat's down and run some more timing

Sammy~ You should have had Don tune it while you were still up here I think that you want to run that a/f right where yellow said. Also grab a scan tool and see how high your ait's are. Your numbers do seem very low. At 10# my 4.8 with relitivly the same head/cam package and a radix made 430rwhp.
