Good comments above.

Are you running a BTM? If not, dial down the timing.

Is the 14lb rating at the intake or the blower? If at the blower, you will lose ~3lbs through the intercooler - not that this is a bad thing. On a stock motor, 14# is ALOT. I know that mags have done this, but that is with some serious on site tuning by experienced mechanics. Just be careful!

Have you had your car tuned? Plug gap should be ~.035 and should be at least one heat range cooler. How is the car idling? Are you running an FMU? Sorry for all the questions, but I've been away from the site for a couple weeks and haven't followed along with your install.

Good luck,
E
