That's not bad at all. Last time I paid attention to milage I was getting 18 unloaded.

lol i check just about every tank on truck and yukon and they both are about the same

I reckon that's the best/worst thing about an egt guage.
You can see how much heat your adding trying to hold a given speed, but just a smidge lighter on the pedal costs hardly any road speed but runs way cooler EGT wise.
So then you're always looking at that instead of the road....

With the new turbo set up I don't even look at the gauge anymore. With the stock turbo eyes were glued to the damn gauge.

Got mine limited to 3,800 right now. But that's with smith brothers pushrods and comp cams 910 springs. Good to about 55psi of boost. I try to keep it under 50 pounds.

lol not sure id want that high on rpms
ive seen 3500 when it downshifted on a hill but never going up or playing unloaded

Lol yeah definitely not on a stock set up. Not sure if the Duramax has Forged rods or not either. Makes a difference lol. Junk powdered metal for all the newer stuff.

Head studs? Your at that thresh hold. Most recomend em for 60psi and up.

Yeah arp head studs before I even did the new turbo set up. I would do it for 40 pounds and up honestly.

Front is direct. 4s are fine.
Rear just grab the stock wiring feeding the amps and feed the speaker that way. One each side like my JDM?

 

[Sagebrush33]

I'm out fellas. This turbo's winding down. Gotta open the window first and pee.
See yous all tomorrow.

Yeah would like to know how to bypass the amps but use stock wiring if possible.
