Lacking top end?

My truck feels really strong right now, expecially in 1st and 2st, after that it seems a little slugish. I'm running the crazy larry/ez. Someone told be to get a boost fooler because my trucks defueling(I'm running about 57lbs of boost). Would this be the key? Or should i look at different programing?

I just went out to my truck to check, and I was right, I do NOT have 2st gear! I looked everywhere but coudln't find it. I only have 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th. I am sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

How many miles on the fuel filter. Reading you truck info is obnoxious.
I see you have lots O power adder stuff , but nothing to keep the fuel supply adequate...HmMMM. Check the fuel filter(s) and get a FASS... The 2MK filters will restrict early due to high efficeency.

Another thing could be the cams. I know that the cam makes a huge difference with top-end.

I put a new filter(GDP MK2) on about 3K ago, along with their 392 comp pump and big line so im getting quite a bit of fuel. I do not have a rail guage, although i plan on it.

acook, has your area changed over to usld lately? If it has you will need to up the detergent in your fuel and change all filters often, as the new fuel has alot more detergents in it. Just a thought

I'm pretty sure the EZ does Boost Fooling in your 06.
My top end sucks too. Heck, with my setup I can't even get more than 35psi and I have to turn the Quad on the high setting to get that.....
