I'm in wheatland. We are 4800 ft here. Gota make 2-3 lbs of boost just to get to sea-level air pressure. I was just down in the Springs this weekend, feels even worse there at 7000 ft

I had my Dmax in Alabama about a year ago there was a big diff between here and there. Do you have an sts kit? or a custom remote mount what are all the specs??

I have a STS kit, but I custom built all the intercooler stuff. I'm running the T-60 turbo with a .69 A/R exhaust housing and off-road Y with all the hot pipes wrapped. I also do all my own tuning with efilive. I also have a Devils Own alky kit on it. Runs pretty strong for just a "little old 4.8" ,lol. Best times with it where when I was out in OR a month ago and ran a 13.46 at 100.7 with 10 lbs of boost at 1400ft elevation. Probably could have ran a low 13 that night, but I was bracket racing and needed to be consistent. Not to bad I think for a 4x4.

Oh ya, wraping the pipes is well worth it! Quicker spool and better heat retention.
