Well, I installed some gauges in the truck (I copied someone on here )and that allowed me to tweak the pump some I am currently running about 1 turn in on the smoke screw, 5/8 in on the starwheel, diaphragm maxed, shaved .060 off the plastic spacer and about 7/8 in on the full load screw. Holy cow, I now have this 7000lb grandpa looking truck that does smokey burn outs, and just surprises the hell out of everyone that doubts her... Puts out about 22PSI, around 1K* on the EGT, still stock exhaust and intake. It's great since I was getting used to people at stop lights getting next to me just to fly by and turn in front of me, now they miss their turn

Looks great! Your number sound spot on for what you've done. Once you tweek the full fuel screw some more, you'll want to back that smoke screw off a bit to lower your cruise egts What size are those gauges? I just made up a similar backing plate and will be ordering some soon.

awesome!!! i would love to do that, but i'd hate to cover up the low fuel, water in fuel, wait to start etc.. lights. looks great!!!

Looks good. EGTs sound good, too, for the boost. I'd leave the smoke screw alone, as it seems to add nothing.

Looks like standard 2" gauges to me.

They're the 2 1/16 z series gauges... There's just barely enough room for them to fit in there, you have to plan it out fairly well. I didn't have any depth problems though which I though I remembered the other guy saying he had problems with. The smoke screw seems (on mine anyways) to help tune the initial off the line power before boost comes on. Helps a bit with the more efficient torque converter when you just step on it off the line.

My pump is set to double stock flow and then some, so even with the AFC line to the pump unhooked, it'll still push 28-30psi of boost. It doesnt do much one way or the other for me. Not even when it was stock.

1.5 turns on the smoke screw is the difference between blowing huge clouds of black smoke off the line to ******* down off the line for me- like you hear all the time these trucks react differently for each person, each mod...

I have a surprise for that soon enough

You got a lot of talant there, Bud.

I had thought of having different colored LEDs to make up for the WIF(red), WTS (Yellow or blue [for cold]), and Low fuel (orange) lights. AntiLock and brake lights are useless- RWAL is unhooked, and if the brake is on, truck dont go anywhere.
