> [@Paulo](#): > > Solid #s for sure. :tup: That thing must get LOOSE. We just dialed in boost by gear so it’s drivable in the first three gears. We ended up at 12 psi in 1st and 2nd gears, 16ish in 3rd, 22 ish in 4th, and in 5th it will probably run 23-24 from the extra load at the same duty cycle as 4th gear, but that’s for Newman to find out. 🙂 With full boost from 4500-8000+ rpm this thing has a massive torque band. ---
