I have a 6# lower and when I go WOT I only see 12 lbs of boost total. I have LT's and high flows along with other bolt ons, but I want to be sure that this is ok I figured I'd be making 13-14 lbs of boost.

Perhaps belt slipage?

I have heard with 6# pulleys, there is an issue with slipage.

The exhaust is flowing a lot more air. If you want more boost put the stock manifolds and cats back on.

Sayle may be on to something here. I can promise you...my exhaust is about as free flowing as it gets and when I had a 6lb on I would see 14 every time.

Check for belt dust around your pulleys and on the top of the idler bracket. Hell, anew belt may fix it...or not, but check for slippege first. Something isn't working right.
