that's about right for a basically stock truck. i could get 19 lbs on a long 3rd gear pull but any other time i was lucky to see above 15. boost won't start climbing until you turn the fuel screw.

That's probably about right for a stock IC truck. I hit 22 with the fuel pin turned, 366 spring and 1 turn of the fuel screw. Been driving it like that for about 6 months now and starting to want more.
