Start out on the rich side and conservative on timing, then just work it in line. What kinda boost you figure you are at now?

Yea, afr was about 10.5 on the first pull. Aiming for 11.3-11.5 for now. Timing was 4.5-5. Should be about 8-9 psi at 6k.

Be careful running timing that low, you're going to have REALLY hot exhaust. Some people have fought detonation due to the exhaust valve getting so hot.

its just where I'm starting. Haven't been able to do many logs with boost. But for some other news. The fast 65# injectors are in and I started the truck. Idles just like before and no signs of leaks. Idle afr is the same as before and fuel pressure is at 50 psi at idle.
But some more bad news, One of the coolant hoses that goes from the water pump to the firewall broke. I wasn't even prying on it. I was connecting the #8 injector in and it just fell. And there's no way to reattach it. so for the time being I cut the other hose and connected them together. I need to get some hose clamps as there is a slight leak when the truck is on. Seems as soon as I get good news something else happens.

haha, I dont want to drive it with the coolant hose dripping. I take the girlfriends truck to the walmart later and pick up some worm gear clamps to help stop the leak. Ive only had about 3 hours of sleep in the past 36.
