There might be an intake leak - extra air going into the intake. Or the ECU software needs to be modified to correct the air/fuel mapping.
20% is a mighty small supercharger pulley...

I doubt it is "normal" for the exhaust to get that hot under those conditions, but it may be operator-induced.
Holding an engine at 3500rpm to warm the heater with no load on the engine might have screwed up the computer analysis of what the engine was doing - with the engine spinning free and no work for it to do, the computer may have run it excessively lean or rich or gave it un-natural spark advance, which would generate the hot exhaust manifold.
The "proper" way to warm an engine is to let it idle until it comes up to temperature. Assuming the thermostat is functioning, it should stay closed until the engine reaches operating temperature, at which there would be hot fluid to warm the heater. The other way is to drive it gently or moderately (as it would say in the owner's manual) until the engine reaches operating temperature. The thermostat modulates engine temperature and will actually close partially or fully to keep the engine at its optimum operating temperature.
