Sry for the confusion, I was wondering what I will put down with around 8lbs. seeing as that will be what i run. the 3200 is also a YANK converter...I talked to dave up at YANK and thats what he recommended but as you know he builds the converter based on what power i tell him I will have so thats why i wanted to get yalls opinions on what estimated numbers i should make...u seem to have a similar set up, so i definately feel save in going with the YANK 3000 which is what i told him i would probably do.
Justin will hook you up...

Oh ok i didnt see 8psi boost in the first post.
rule of thumb is 500rwhp on 8psi on a stock 6L if that helps you any..

i liked the TT3000 it was enough for me.. but with the 80E now i like the stock converter.

I actually considered getting into tunning my own truck but I definately need guidance...how long have you been tunning your own vehicle and about how long did it take you to get the hang of it? I was thinking about getting justin to write me a tune and then slowly tweak it...is this what you did?

Ive had the software for about 3 years.. its alot to learn.
Justin is a EFI Live dealer along with KBracing96.
he just coached me along the way, he got me a starter tune and showed me what to do from there.
