Okay yesterday found the prob as i was installing my proper length push rods I saw a small crack under the connector on the drivers side of my procharger plenum. upon removal noticed it had a huge crack all the nway along the weld on the under backside. Got it welded and am seeing 8 psi as low as 2800 and 12+ psi at full rpms very strong and pulling hard thanks all for your help!!!

I was gonna side with Bob, sounds like you have a leak.....tho that rpm level can indicate a push rod issue too. Are your #s on a Mustang Dyno? I assume yes or you'd have a lot more tq than that. Which stall are you running? And try some Autolite AR94s. They are a major PITA to gap, but they work great at those boost levels.

Glad you found it!

MAN! I never would have thought this was it. We went over pretty much everything. I should have asked if it sounded diffrent, we had something like this happen with a vette that was here, it wasn't broken though, just not hooked up from a previous shop.

Yeah it sucked but thanks for all your help Jake I appreciate all you guys have done for me. Wahusker no it is on a dynojet and like i said the numbers in my sig were with just under 9 psi and that was at 6200rpms then it just fell off cause of the leak it was barely getting any boost down low I can definitely tell you that now that the leak is fixed its an entirely different animal!! Cant wait till i get it all tuned in and redynoed. I will try those plugs thanks boss. I am still on stock stall till the new trans is down and ready to go in
