Message: [QUOTE="TyCorr, post: 94524, member: 1451"] 20lbs outta the atmosphere is psig(the g being gauge). Atmospheric pressure is 14.2psi for us flatlanders so I added that to what the atmosphere was compressing additionally. I mean if you drove the truck 1k feet down in a quarry you'd have to change your gating because the pressure would be greater down there! 65lbs of boost IS excessive for towing...but hey thats what compounds are all about right? In all seriousness, that was just an example. This brings us to another point that people need to consider! Charles tuned his own truck. He ran one tune, for everything. I would want that same level of dynamic control in a compounded truck. I would say a truck built like this isnt for someone who needs eight different tunes. If you find yourself not being able to use the throttle incrementally to tow and such it could be disastrous. Not to mention the number of tuners that would be able to tune that setup isnt as vast as slapping a bb charger on a truck with a hot fuel system. Im kinda warming up to the idea of learning to tune before I do something like this. Hopefully someone with compounded induction will chime in on how they got tunes established and if any tuners have programs at the ready for such hardware. [/QUOTE]
