BOOST!
im just impressed that you have your cream puff out on the road in February. What if there had been a salt grain that got wedged in the cab somehow

Nevermind figured it out misread it
yeah my truck is about 8500 and trailer is about 3500.
yeah im probably gonna get a banks one for a PSD or something. it pulled that total weigh pretty good and i was in pretty hilly terrain. honestly could use more fuel and thats a 90cc pump and i maxed the fuel screw which wasn't much.
you can see it in the picture. it was right around 900 and maybe tapped 1,000. in the hot summer it will run a little warmer but this weather is mint.
it really seems like i keep giving it fuel and it keeps making effective boost so the EGTs stay cool. really need to be like 2,500 rpm and above or it will get hot.
I in theory have a little more fuel than you do and I’m pretty sure I can digest my pump fully if I keep the rpms up and the water temps down. That’s been my nemesis. RPMs are the big thing. I found out a lot of my issue early on with boost was not enough rpm. I wish it came on just a little sooner. But your right, it’s not fully happy until you get in that 2500 range then it starts making boost. This is my issue with towing in OD. With the 3.55’s I got to be going 80 plus to really spoil that thing fully.... not that I’ve ever tried that, of course.
Where do yall have your timing set? Turbo should be spooling a bit sooner than 2500 from what I remember looking at the compressor maps
I’m around 9.5. I set it when the engine went back in but have never taken the time to tune it. Ive thought about backing it off a little.
I think you would pick up some bottom end by backing it down, turbo trucks usually like 7-8.5 and na likes 8.5-9.5 generally.
i think mine is around 8. i had alex time it and he did mention lower timing might help.
the only time OD wont pull with ease is if i have over 4,000 lbs on the trailer. over the summer i towed some regular sedan cars to the derby on the highway and can stay in OD and maintain speed or pass the speed keepers lol.
