Gauges installed

Just got my boost gauge and fp gauge installed. Did a final check tonight and couldn't find any fuel leaks so I'm good. Took the truck out for a test drive and was getting 12.5 at idle and at wide open throttle it worked its way down as low as 6. Do these readings sound ok?

I'm by no means the overvalved expert, but that sounds about right to me.

A little low perhaps.

Most idle at 14, then 9-10 at WOT.

If this is the original LP, then it's doing pretty well.

Try to change your fuel filter if you haven't already. I installed my gauges the other day and my FP numbers were identical to yours. After the filter change, I'm getting 14 at idle, 12 at 65-70 MPH, and 7 PSI with it screaming down I-75 rolling @ 100 MPH or so with my foot to the floor. (I wanted to be sure WOT was WOT) Latch 'er Back!

Yep....it still has the original lp in it. I installed a Fleetguard fuel filter when I installed the gauge so I think I'm good there. Guess I'll just keep an eye on it.
