Are you running straight exhaust or is the cat still on? If the cat is still on it might be clogged so you might try a delete pipe or a temp removal to see if this helps. What gets me is jumps high as soon as you fire the truck.

The air filter is a K&N kit, looks pretty clean. I may start it up and let it idle without the filter just to see if that would help. Exhaust is a straight pipe all the way back to the stacks, and it feels like I'm getting good flow out of both of them while the truck is running.
