Only 15psi boost!?! This normal?

This weekend I installed my boost gauge. At WOT the most boost I see is 15 psi. Is this normal? I know it's different but, my stock 6.0 ran 10 psi cruisin down the highway. If this is normal, what can I do to make more boost?

Very normal on a stock truck. To make more boost, add fuel (bigger injectors) and/or get some tunes.

You are totally stock with an intercooler? Yes 15 is normal, good tunes will get you probably 18-20

Dont compare a 6.0 to a 7.3, nothing even close to the same on them

Those extra 30 cc's makes a pretty big difference
