as many of you have read I just got my truck back from the ford dealership and when I got it back from getting a new head and new pcm installed. I realized that I was only pushing around 3-4 pounds of boost. Well I played with the vac lines and one of them was really loose and I pushed it back on and the next morning the truck was running like its old self again except I am now pushing a little over 10 pounds of boost and the truck is absoultly stock I am also getting this reading from my aftermarket boost gauge not the stock. So I have no clue but very happy. No wonder I was pushing 13-14 pounds of boost with the 4lb pulley. :hammer: Not sure if that was the reason that I bent a valve. but now she back to slow old stock. I dont think I will be modding it back up anytime soon for the simple fact of the scare I got when ford was acting like they didnt want to pay for it. Lucky for me they did and now I am a little on the conservative side. We will se how long that last. :D
anyway just wanted to share my good news

Are you running the stock air box? Have a K&N filter in the stock air box? I know when i put a k&n filter in the stock air box i was pushing real close to 10lbs.


But glad you got your truck back.
