Default Check engine light flashing :(
Well I put a good 1,500 break in miles on my new engine and did a small WOT on her for the 1st time and noticed the flashing CE light then let go it flashed a few seconds then stopped pulled over and started looking for any issues truck drives normal no signs of miss fire or anything odd or off. I'm running 8lbs of boost using 85lb injectors any idea what it could be?

I think flashing MIL means misfire. It could be a false misfire of course.
