Well went out to hrp finally ran my truck withTurbo and street tune (Wheatley is a great tuner to deal with by the way).
Before turbo:
60' 2.509
330 6.883
1/8 10.374
MPH 70.21
1000 13.398
1/4 15.923
MPH 89.59
After turbo @6psi:
60' 2.429
330 6.379
1/8 9.559
MPH 78.21
1/4 14.515
99.68
The truck pulls really strong but 1/4 time is slower then i expected. Im thinking the 20's and 3.23 are really killing me off the line.

8mph by the 1/8 is not bad,
and 10mph by the 1/4 is showing the truck can run much quicker just get the 60 down.
BTW how much boost did you launch with?

What stalls are yall running with a turbo? Believe me i cant wait to bump it up to 10 psi, but thats gonna have to wait till around xmas time next year when i can get a better trans. Also i dont know how accurate it is but the instant mpg in the truck is telling me im getting around 22-23 mpg on the highway, i didnt get a turbo for mpg but its still nice to know...

I've always heard that turbos like load, so staying with the lower (numerically) gear might actually be better. I'm sure there's a point at which you could have too low of a gear in it, but I don't think the 3.23's are hurting you as much as the converter and rim/tire setup.
