Silver Bullet waste gate adjustment

How do you adjust the waste gate on the silver bullet? I dont have head studs yet and figured its got to be easier to do before it goes on the truck. Or for those of you running them what psi were they putting out when you install?

Use a regulator with a good gauge and take the cover off the waste gate housing. Set the regulator on the presure you want and adjust the actuator to where it will just loosen the waste gates with a little more pressure.

It's not that bad, but an extra set of hands does help

I am now, but I ran for about a year without them. I would see 55psi every run at the track. The Smarty has added a lot of fueling ability past the 3300rpm level and probably serious cylinder pressure possibilities so I did have the studs installed. That was after I blew out the rear freeze plug and thought at first it was the head gasket .
