Need some engine advice and suggestions...

I finally got my chassis and suspension squared away, now I need some suggestions/advice from all you motor gurus, . I'm trying to get my truck as streetable as possible (I drive it to work several times a week, ), yet still be very "salty" at the strip.

Here's a link to the chassis/interior updates:

First, let me say that I didn't build the motor or transmission. Here's a list of what I have done myself or have been able to determine that had been done by the previous owner. The motor was built by T&L Engine Development out of North Carolina (http://www.tandlengines.com/) and appears to be very well built. I have a lot of paperwork so I'll answer any questions the best I can. What I'm looking for are suggestions or recommendations about what has already been done or what should be done in the future to make this setup as efficient as it can be. Here's a list of what I know:

Vortech V2 Supercharger (8" crank pulley)
50 mm Blow-off valve: http://www.vsracing.net/catalog/prod...43aaf05a7d8c53

383 stroker motor (1 piece rear main seal)
All forged internals
9:1 Compression

SRP pistons - http://www.jepistons.com/Catalogs/SR...0-400_inv.aspx

PRW Stainless steel roller tip rockers (1.5 3/8) - http://www.performanceracingwarehous...cker-arms.html

MSD 6BTM ignition box with adjustable boost retard and 6K rev limiter
MSD billit mechanical distributor (blue/silver springs 36 degrees)
8MM wires
Edelbrock Performer RPM HPC coated intake
QFT 750 Ban Blow through carb
Aeromotive boost adjusted FPR, http://www.aeromotiveinc.com/products.php?prod=20)
Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump, http://www.aeromotiveinc.com/products.php?prod=165)
10 AN lines from tank to FPR, 8AN return, 8AN carb
Custom aluminum tank with sump and return
SS headers (1 3/4" primaries) 50 Series flowmasters, 2 1/2 exhaust
Factory recommends Autolite AR3933, it seems to run better with NGK 45 spark plugs (.0045 gap, is this a good plug and is the gap good?)
180 Thermostat (to high or to low?)
PVC valve installed

Sid Neal TH350
SFI flexplate
2800 stall torque converter (to high/to low?)

31' rear tires, 4.11 Yukon gears with Eaton posi and moser axles

They dyno sheet I got shows 631.1 TQ @ 4900 rpm and 622.7 HP @ 5400 rpm. The run was only to 5500 rpm. Supposedly it's built to go to 7500 RPM.....

This is my first really high performance engine (and supercharger) and I want to make sure I don't break anything because something is incorrectly setup or something is missing. I'm open to any suggestions, recommendations, and/or changes to make this a strong running combination. Fire away at what you think is good, bad and ugly.........
