I remember looking at the old f150 pamphlet from the local ford dealer, 95 or 96 I believe. If the original powerstroke was making around 15psi, and was only making 210-220 hp, what kind of boost are they putting into the significantly smaller 6.0L to get 300+ horsepower, and all that torque?

I have seen 30 pounds of boost. You have to remember that the 10 years since you last looked, a lot has changed in diesel engines, like 4 valves per cylinder and the variable vane turbocharger.
