Default Turbo 5.3L @7# = 311hp 360 tq

Well i finally dynoed the truck and was very disappointed to say the least. I was expecting at least 400rwhp. The truck feels really strong but dies at around 4k-4.5k. It was at a dyno day event and they had it set up for hp/tq vs mph instead of rpm. Also they didnt have af readings, but my wideband read around 11.5.
Mods:
Trick stg 2 intercooled kit
76mm Turbo JB/.81 housing
220/218 56x/58x 114
918 springs
TR6s gapped at .029
60lb injectors
LS1 fans
3" cutout
3200 Stall 9.5"
4.10 <-- just found this out yesturday, assumed it was 3.42
Stock pump
Stock plug wires
No Meth
on 91 octane

I tried gapping at .025 but no change. Do you guys think my housing is too small? Im on my stock pump and stock plug wires which ill be changing soon. Input please.

Check your fuel pressure with a gauge in the high rpm where it falls off. You are loosing something up top... boost, fuel , or spark or maybe the exhaust is restricting it.

Something is definitely wrong. That's bolt-on 5.3L power you're making.

Don't get discouraged, there's just something that is wrong that needs to be discovered! What diameter is the converter?

If you have the graph post it up, the trend will be the same weather its speed or rpm.

What fuel pump are you using?
