just curious as to why you have a concern about it? do you think you are choking your motor?

not sure what is doing. i want to find out though. i want a new cam and i want to see what the pressures are before i buy one.

i want to log the downpipe to make sure that's not where the back pressure is from. if that makes sence.

that part is easy, stock 5.3l with p&p ls6 heads and patriot springs. stock gaskets and arp studs, 2003 ls6 cam. its got trick hot pipes and a tc78 with the f1 68mm exhaust wheel inside a .96 A/R housing. it has a 3" downpipe to a 4"diesel exhuast with huge magnaflow muffler.
