I'm e-tuning for now. Waiting for his busy schedule to open up. If I find a dyno day or something that is cheap (like $30 for a couple of pulls) I will Dyno it before John comes down.

It's a 5 psi actuator. As a rule of thumb, you only push the actuator to double its intended actuation psi. I won't bump it much more looking for around 12 psi max and that's it.

Thanks on the videos!

I did get stage 2+, but had an issue with the rod of the bigger actuator and I'm waiting on one new actuator which should be on its way soon.
