I'm gathering that your A/F ratios were 13.69, and that is way too lean for a blown application. Something around 12.0 A/F ratio is good and safe under boost.

What he said. Richening it up will probably cost you a few hp, but will keep it alive longer.

How good the numbers are depends on several things. Are they corrected, and if so are they SAE or STD? My truck did 374/445 SAE with long tubes/exhaust and a drop in filter.

generally speaking the air fuel mixture should be ajusted toward the rich side, a slightly rich condition means more powder and actually helps cool the combustion not less powder, like silver streak said,

My 04 makes 412HP and 502 Ft/Lb of torque at 12 pounds of boost. Your HP seems fine, but your torque is a little low. I agree that 13.6 A/F is uncomfortably lean. Get your chip re-burned for a 11.8 to 12.3 A/F and your truck will be happier. In my opinion long tubes out perform shorties

4-Pound Pulley
Ported Blower
C&L Plenum
AF-1 Intake
RWTD tune
JLP Traction Bars
FTVB

I bought the truck last summer and have yet to get to the track. The truck is a daily driver (22,000 miles in the last 11 months) and will never see much track time. Anyway, now that I have the mods I wanted in place, I’ll probably hit the local 1/8 mile a couple of times for grins. The closest ¼ mile is over two hours away and just not worth the drive to me.
