    Howdy Loaderlue,

    Thanks for your reply it’s nice knowing my truck is performing as it should. I don’t need any more power but being a normal guy like most I would not turn down more if it didn’t cost a lot or hurt reliability.

    Many years ago I drove to put bread on the table now I drive for fun BIG difference, hope there comes a time when you folks can do the same.

    I have an '01 Pete 379 with a 6NZ 475, no custom flash files. Turbo and exhaust manifold were upgraded to a BullyDog set up. Dyno says around 535 WHP. Max boost when I'm pulling a hill is 40 psi at 700 to 800 degrees.
