    Link in my sig.

    LS's like 10-12 psi. With a t3/t4, that's far above your goal. Turn it down and be at your goal. My engine compression tested 191-190-189-191

    Stock ls' do love boost.


    Mines tuned at around 10psi.


    Thatll usally get you anywhere from 225-250 on a pretty safe tune.
