Rail pressure w/ DS Predator
Just wanted to post some of my observations with the Predator and my new rail pressure guage..
Idling it hovers around the 900psi mark no matter which tune I am running. On the Regular Extreme tune the RP goes no higher than 23500psi.
Regular Extreme tune along with the Puck on the low setting and it reaches around 26500psi.
Today I loaded the Extreme RKL Stacker tune and w/ the Puck on the 50hp setting I was well over 27000psi!! Man the truck runs awesome on the RKL tunes but ouch on that high pressure! I haven't tried the non-stacker RKL yet but I'm sure it's up there too...
That's all I have to report except that this RP guage is cool.

Ha Ha!! Yes, I meant 9000psi. I keep forgetting to add that 0 to the number......
The only bad thing I could say about this guage so far is that where I mounted it right above the steering wheel you can't always see the readout due to the sunglare on it. Other than that it's a great piece....

I'll do that. It just takes forever to change settings on the Predator. My numbers may be a bit skewed due to running a bigger turbo though. If anything I would think my numbers would be higher than a truck with a stock turbo....

I took the Predator off and with the puck only it still gets up over 26000psi. idle pressure dropped down to 7000psi though. The truck sure is a dog though compared to when the Predator was on it.....
