Mine is a 04.5 and I hit about 32 and it drops back to about 28 and stays there.

Modded aibox and muff delete would hit 34 then drop right back to 30 and stay as long as I was in it.
Now with the Jr., It'll hit 38 and stay till I let off.

This is with a boost bolt where Diesel Manor says install it.

It'll hang there for a bit, but then settles around 28 or so!

Ah, there we are.


I've been thinking about a boost fooler lately, like to run closer to 35 or so when the need arises.

Just got my guages installed yesterday (dieselmanor kit) and was surprised to see that it will only go to about 30psi breifly. I used let off a lot when I had the edge/attitude because it would spike to 40psi very easily, 43 was the highest I ever saw with it.

My truck would peak 30psi then level off to 27-28psi stock. Installed the Quad Boost Fooler and now peak at 36-37psi and will stay there until I let off. My Dads "stock" (K&N Intake & Cat MIA) '05 will peak 35-36psi and level off to 31-32psi. I bought a 60psi gauge because I thought I would peg a 0-35psi gauge like my Dads '05, then had to buy a Boost Fooler so that it I could use the 35-60psi half of the gauge. It seems like these trucks have a broad stock boost range of 30 to 35psi.

Ive read threads similar to this in the past and yea it seems like there is a extremly broad range of boost. Does anyone know why is that? I wanted to say elevation but I havent really seen much coorelation though. FYI my 06 will stay at 40 psi with the juice on level 3

Boost fooler sounds great but is it needed if I run a Bully Dog?
