Maybe Jim's running some new 5" tall tires though :o) 5th gear and 7000 
rpm --> 80 mph <grin>.

I can't remember...What turbo are you running? I'd think you were 
getting close to the surge line at low rpm's and high boost. I've got a 
ton of compressor maps on some turbo software, so if you let me know 
what you've got, I'll see where that is on the map.
