Stock Boost??

I want to install a boost gauge. What do I need for a stock truck? Is a 35-PSI gauge good enough or should I get something like a 60-PSI gauge?

60 or 100 if you ever upgrade the blower then you dont have to buy a new one

I have a 60psi gauge. Only reason you will need more is if you run a HUGE single or twins

haha yea good thing i already replaced the stock plastic intercooler that was on early 05's!!! It would have blown to pieces. I have a stock 06 intercooler on my truck now. so far so good.

i don't think a 62/14 is supposed to hit 57psi!
