Default and they said there is no stupid question

I was just cruising down the high way with my rear mount and I decided to punch it in 6th gear at about 1600 rpm I got about 2 psi as the tach hit 2000 rpm. Cars got the 3.42's. What do the rest of you run in each gear.
1st=? cant look cars going too fast
2nd= 5 psi
3rd 4th 5th wastegate opens at 6psi
6th= 2 psi

That's too much load on the motor IMO. Why would you go WOT in 6th
gear especially at that low rpm?

I agree with unit213, you really shouldn't be flooring it in 6th gear at that low of an rpm. I would curious to see how much kr you were seeing!!

As far as your question, I don't have enough time with the current setup, but with the stock motor, I would be able to hit 7.5-8 psi in 1st through 4th. With the same gear ratio by the way.
