Initially, you're gonna roll coal pretty good, but it'll clear up good when the boost comes up.

Like I said, right now your limiting factor will be running out of fuel with the stock CP3.

That would be the next thing you'll want to look at.

You don't need anything monster either, a 33% mod CP3 will carry you well into the 700's.

If your sticks are 120's, you'll see high 600's.

If they're 150's, you get into the low to mid 700's.

Was just checking out your pics of your tear down and assembly man does it look good, this diesel stuff is all new to me so sorry if I got so many questions would just be nice to be able to drive down to you and toss on dyno and get the ideas from there. My closest dyno is 1.5 hours away might just have to take the drive so I can get some numbers and where to go from there. Whats the cost of a modified CP3 pump

I got my rail pressure gauge figured out had to unhook the rail sensor while the engine was running that the gauge was tapped into and plug it back in. It idles at 8000 psi under a hard pull it will go up to 22 or 23000 normal driving its at about 15000 does that sound normal???

That's about right.

Idle seems a little high, should be around 6400 - 7200, but nothing big.
