Default gt500 supercharger on a 5.3L

ok ,got it to run for a week now and it pretty decent. No vac leaks and boost around 7-8 psi but not wanting more right now just for street and looks. When i run it hard it leans out when i punch it "thinking bigger injectors" 39 cobra's are in it. my block is 09 alum. 5.3L with 317 heads stock everything and a 2, 4 barrel carb intake cut up and mod with plates welded to it to make the blower work with intercooler...now my guestions? i got ls11 forge pistons here was going to use 6.300 rods to make a long stroke which would put me .005 below the deck height but would not know my compression because they was for a 383 set-up and 11.25to 1???what you guys think and also looking for a mild blower cam not want to push more then the cobra irs that is in my 92 coupe with a 4l80e with a yank 3000 stall and long tubes and x-pipe...also need a better tune and reflashed. right know i use a mag-charger pcm off a 6.0L thats was my friends when he total it out..

Couple things, Please post pics....

Secondly, tune it. Injectors are small, yes, but a real tune is needed here.

Thirdly, mild boost cam, engine that new probably has the front timing cover with the cam sensor, so just snag up a ZR1 cam, probably be about perfect. PICS!

Also, where at in Indiana are you?
