I hear the GAIC chip gives higher boost so will that add to my already high boost of 22#? if so that would set me into limp for sure. has anoybody done a BM before a chip??

Default you will need to re-adjust the BM with a GIAC chip. Since yours is homegrown I

can't tell you how many turns on creep or relief as on a Schwing BM. I had the chip first but now with the BM I can hit 25+ psi no problem. It's parked around 23 for daily use though as anything higher I'm told is really making heat and not more power.

You really shouldn't be pushing it that high without a chip...

Default 18....

A chip has additional fueling and adjustment parameters built in. Conservative stock programs should not be pushed that high..

Default I thought you said you weren't chipped (yet)?

22-23 is still where you want to be (Chipped). Any higher, you're just making heat, outside compressor effiiency, and the ECU will pull timing back.
