I've never had a truck quite this built but my guess would be lift pump? is it still stock? and it could just be the way your pump is tuned. thats just my best guess

Look hard at the transmission too. You can have all the power in the world, but if you cant put it to the ground its useless.

his exhaust housings are fine, there is always the chance your cam is retarded a few degrees which will ruin performance. i have seen this happen to stock trucks built from the factory its the main reason why some trucks just seem to run better than others. good luck figuring it out
