3k gsk question

ive had my 3k gsk in the truck for over 10 months now, and i love it. recently i had the oportunity to dyno my truck at the fall brawl, and was happy with the hp and torque readings, but i studied the dyno charts and it seems like the truck was defueling heavily at about 2800rpm. is that a good defuel rpm with the 3k springs, or should it be higher? my other question is can i go back in the pump and make the springs one click tighter and will that raise the defuel rpm to maybe 3000, 3,200 rpm? my top end seems ok, but i think i can get more out of it.
