4kGSK installed, no rev past 3K
As the title states, I installed my 4kGSK along with 60# springs today. My truck will not rev past 3000 either reving it freely in neutral or on the road under load. When it gets to 3k, the motor starts to pop and falls on its face. I only see at max 25PSI of boost. The truck has a TST #5 plate in the stock position with the boost elbow installed, 15.5 degrees of timing, 4 inch exhaust and bhaf.
What causes this? Lack of fuel?
Thanks

You injection pump and DV"s are most likely the culprit. My 94 did the same thing. The 94-95 pumps just don't do well with the 4k spring kit. Even DV's did not help me with more RPM"s....

Around 25psi at idle, and 35ish at 2k rpm with no load is the specs. If you can get a gauge you can run into the cab and see what it is under load as well, since thats when it matters.

Rich my injection pump had been rebuilt and timed at 15 degrees. I had messed with the clicks on the GSK kit and nothing helped. Talked with Piers Diesel and they also mentioned that a 94's and some 95 injection pumps will not support fuel up to 4k even with DV's.... Several other people on this forum have had the same issues with the 94 pumps....

I did get a new overflow valve, and pre-filter screen since I have no idea when they were last changed. I need to pick up my needle valve from Grainger, and tap the banjo bolt to check the fuel pressure. I'll do these on the weekend and hope for the best.
Thanks for your help.
