does anyone have any baseline values for things like boost, egt and trans temp for stock trucks and chipped trucks?
i am trying to read up and make purchasing decisions for gauges and a chip. but it seems that everyting number that is thrown out there that is important is done with a reference to failure or damage. but what should normal things be? granted, this may seem really fundamental to most, but its really confusing reading all the (mis)information out there.
what should gauges 'normaly' read for trans temp, turbo boost and egt for differing driving conditions on 'healthy' trucks?
granted there are variances in gauge accuracies and everything is relative to temp, humidity, wind and planet alignment, but perhaps we can make a sticky or wiki out of the good info.
thanks

- driving empty around town running errands
- driving empty on the highway at say 65
- pulling a light trailer on a level road, ? speed
- pulling a heavy trailer on a level road.? speed
- pulling a light trailer in the hills
- pulling a heavy trailer in the hills
