PowerMaxCR Performance Variability

I have a PowerMaxCR, AFE, and TripleLoc TC with upgraded Valve Body. Stock turbo and exhaust.

I notice reports on the message boards that reflect a variety of different experiences when the PWRMXCR is used on various settings. I have run mine at 7/7 from 10 MPH up to 110 MPH with no problem. Turbo boost up to 39 and EGTs in the 1500 to 1600.

I am wondering what causes the variability that people are reporting - specifically, the running out of diesel effect. I dont have a fuel pressure guage, but I dont seem to need one since I always have fuel.

The trucks and modules are all engineered and built the same. Why so many different experiences in performance?

different people have a different opinion on whats "no problem"

you say 1500*-1600* is no problem

I say anything over 1350* sustained is a problem
I dont want to see more than 1450*spike for a second

you say you havnt run out of fuel yet

I say anything under 3psi at wot will lead to a problem

theres the variability

im running on 2x3 and feel its a safe level and it feels like more power than my 02 with a comp box on 5x5

I think thats pretty impressive

oh ya
not all the pmcr's have the same program in them either

if you have one of the first ones you may want to update it

code problem fixed
egt's seem to be a little less from what Ive heard from others
power comes on a little smoother
