Default I would still check the cracking pressure on any actuator before I put them on, but thats just me
sorry mny, can't remember what it is stock, I think 6 or 6.5 PSI.

Not boost spike, but boost creep. Some people *do* mess with them, but it's not for everybody.

Default Thanks. I had my center section replaced and I am at a loss on whta the right pressure
should be. I think I have it set at 8.5psi at the moment. I dont know if this is too high???

yes, thats too high. That is about as high as you can get them and still have the valve open
