Sounds like a sweet setup, none the less..
I've heard of guys having well over 400 rwhp with only like 5-7 lb boost on LS1, might be a tune issue, over heating intake (do U have inter-cooler?)
I'll bet it is a tune issue.. 11's lbs can bring big power...
wish I had the setup

it was built as an all motor car,after 2 years decided to put a turbo on it
does timing play a big factor in hp gains on turbo cars,think i may have to much pulled out

There's a local guy with a 385 LT1 with a STS turbo setup running 7 lbs I think and he made 520ish in Vegas. So your a little low it sounds like, but it sounds like you have an idea on what it is.

check the little things first ic pipes, boost leaks, wastegate spring, but it sounds like a tuner problem. Sounds like a pretty efficient motor it should make a lot more with turbo. Do you have a good intercooler without a lot of funky bends? LT1 manifold heatsoak a lot, you can try putting a carb style manifold it also might be chocked, or meth to counter manifold getting hot. but you are making good torque tho
whatever it is one thing is foe sure you should post pics!
