Too little Boost?

[TateKingRanch2]

I have many mods to my 2006 6.0. Such as a Banks Six gun, with a SCT custom Tune, AFE Stage two intake, Banks intake elbow, MBRP Exhaust. Typically with those mods you should be pushing around 35 psi. I can barely hit 30 psi.....Whats the Deal????

Not to my knowledge although i have a old friend who has worked on my truck for me and when he ran it he hit 35psi but when i step on it I only hit 29-30

With out headstuds 30 should be a MAX!!! i can barely hit 29 on my track only file..... I really wouldnt want to hit 35 if it was me

ummm guys is it bad that my dads truck can hit 38psi with an exhaust and intake??? i say 38psi bc his is a 06' 6.0 and has the factory 0-40psi gauge and he almost pegged it!!! we were just curious to see how high we could get it and sure enough..... no bull sht

Then why could he hit 34 and i can now only hit 30. I understand the precaution just wondering why or how thats happening?

I not sure.... but from what i have heard and learned that 30 is about as high as you want to go with stock head bolts.....

Who are writing your tunes where you are hitting over 30 lbs of boost?
