I ran one on my 62/12. I shortened the rod as short as it would go and could still only get 38-40lbs.With the elbow(edge type) I could get 43-45lbs.When I installed the flux1's I had to remove the elbow to keep the boost under 50lbs.I ended up running the rod back out and still couldn't keep it from hitting 50lbs.Thats why I upgraded to the 62/13ss/71.I can hold 48lbs with it the way it came out of the box.

I would think with 90hp injectors you would have no problem getting it to spool well past 40lbs.Don't think the 14 exhaust housing would cause that much difference.You never did say what kind of boost you are making.

You can get the snap ring off with some 90* snap ring pliers.Just have a couple extra rings laying around.Gettting it off is easy,getting it on is ackward.I dropped a couple and never found them.I had a bag full though(from Lowes and they are cheap) and finally got it on.

i haven't been able to drive the truck hard we just got 8 inches of snow here so there is no where to get traction to build any boost i was making 37-40 lbs of boost without it.
