Now that I have put a few hundred miles on it, I think that when I have it in the Suburban I actually may want more power out of it, So far I have only gotten about 15 lbs of boost going up a steep hill full throttle. Is that the maximum boost I should expect, or am I just not going to get more because I am not loaded enough?
It also smokes a little once it is "hot" at idle. What could that mean? it is a white smoke.
The white smoke could be haze from worn injectors. There is an ID tag on the injection pump, usually on the governor housing or on the side of the pump which could be behind the throttle bracket some times. The numbers on there are where the model numbers can be broken down from.

What turbo does it have on it? Plug the waste gate line and make sure the waste gate isn't stuck open. You can get at least 10lbs more out of that turbo I'll bet with some tweaking.
