Max boost on P1SC on stock 6.0 with meth
So nobody wants to buy my Escalade (at least not at the price I want to sell it ), so I am thinking about keeping it and pulleying down, and cranking up the boost.
I have the snow meth kit that Allen at Nelson motorsports put on it when he helped me check the vehicle out when I purchased it from a dealer in San Antonio (still much appreciated by the way Allen!). I also have the Yank 3000 stall that I put on it to counteract the procharger lag.
I have never been able to achieve more than 5lbs of boost. Wondering how high of boost I may be able to go before having to worry about engine internals, tranny, etc. Seems like others on this forum safely run from 8-10 lbs or so.
I would like to try and make the Escalade into a mid 4 second 0-60 vehicle, but just not sure I can do it with the P1SC. Turbo for the win???
Thanks in advance for any and all tips - they are always a great help.

A definite option, but want to explore if a less invasive (and cheaper) approach can be followed.....with success.
For example, is there anyone out there running the P1SC with 10lbs boost and breaking 13 seconds 1/4 mile in a 6000 lb vehicle? I think that usually equates to mid to high 4's 0-60.

If you wanna take that escy to the next level I would think about mods like headers and a small cam to compliment the boost and 3000 stall with a smaller pulley to bring you to around 8 lbs or so all said and done. There will be so much more power it will feel like a new truck.
if 5 lbs and tuning is all you have now with that stall I honestly can't imagine its all that fast. I'm sure its no slouch... but nothing to write home about. Have you ever had it at the track?

I would try and sell the P1 and get a D1. You would never max out the D1 with the 6.0 I would think. Plus make a lot more boost with out having to work the PC as hard
