Default boost with bigger injectors

I put some 44lb bosch injectors and was waiting for the tuner..... long story short he didnt show up.... so my truck ran like crap, naturally. I bought HP Tuners and Im currently learning it. The big problem is as soon as I put the injectors my boost couldnt get up past 2-2.5psi. Im getting the fueling worked out but I still cant get the boost up past 2-2.5psi. Am I doing something wrong or does the more fuel thing mean less boost?

I put the whipple setup. I couldnt get a tune right away so I put the craptronics at first. I put a boost and AFR gauge and they said 6lb and lean. I bought some injectors and waited till I could put a tune to install. Well I found a local tuner that sounded to good to be true (he was). So he tells me hes gonna come to me and tune my truck. Also to install my injectors so he dont have to come back. So one day I pull all the craptronics and install my injectors. He doesnt show up!!!!!!...... So my truck ran like crap obviously. So it drove me to go buy a tuner since I was looking into getting into tuning anyways. So I started tuning from there.

so your on a stokc tune right now. I would not got WOT with that thing. Your timing table need to be toned down a lot and it needs to be richended up a bit.
