New times with new 408... very disappointed

While deciding on the specs for the short block I came up with 15lbs of boost as a goal. After blowing up the 6 liter and having to buy a new motor I wanted to play it safe and not blow up the new one. At least not yet.
I use pcm4less for tuning. After looking at the logs he said I'm going pretty lean. I'm running siemen 60lb injectors. My fuel pressure is dropping a little. I guess I have to do some research on fuel pumps now.
Thanks for your replies.

I would possibly change to a new tuner as well, not sure how they are tuning. Do they offer auto cal, where they can see what is going on why making runs, or just going on it based of of what you are telling them about the set up? Needs more boost also, tune dialed in for sure. With the loss of the compression, you will not hurt it by upping the boost. It can often times get aggravating, but stay at it, you will have a easy low 11 second truck once things are dialed in.

I never really considered it. I don't know anything about it.
For tuning, I email him logs and he tunes me in person. I've given too many tuners my money and they stop returning emails real quick. Or it takes 8 weeks for a reply. It's nice to have someone local.
It seems like I have a lot of tweaking to do, also tuning.

For your engine's sake, get away from PCM4less....
You need an in-person, custom tune for that thing and some dyno time. I'm assuming you aren't ready to throw your hands up since you've got plenty of time invested. I believe with meth, more timing/tuning, fuel system, better air, you'll get where you want. That's where I would start.

Could anybody recommend a fuel pump that would suit my needs?
Also, I'm really clueless about meth injection.
Thanks
