Are you running the stock valve springs with the pro1s?

Is it tuned?

Sounds like a decent setup so far just need a few things to make it complete. You need some bigger injectors and a fuel pump.

WOW FAIL !

You mean to tell me your running a comepletely stock head with pro1 camshafts? either your full of crap your dont have a clue what your doing. first off pro 1's are way to much cam for that setup and will result in a loss of power throughout rather than a gain. Secondly stock valve train will absolutly fail with those cams. the and running oversized valves with a cam that has that much overlap is a disaster waiting to happen. before you ruin the whole motor, ptu the stock cams in please.

then get injectors and a fuel pump and take it to someone that knows what they are doing and have them look it over and what else is wrong

If I was you I wouldn't hit boost at all until you upgrade injectors, fuel pump and get it tuned. ur going to end up destroying ur motor.
