I thought I had read something about having to get your tune adjusted for it to dyno correctly - have to have the torque converter locked up, is that correct?

That can't be right, I made more torque than that before I put my X-Charger on. With a custom tune and Hi Po kit on 91 octane I make 301rw torque. Find a good tuner and get a custom tune done, you won't regret it.

224 is crazy low for an X. There's either a problem with the car or the dyno. Maybe a problem with the bypass valve not allowing full boost? (just speculating)

I had mine re-tested... 263 rwhp and 266 rwtq... much better readings... went to a different place and i trust these numbers better. The tech was more informative... side note, everyone really likes this X-charger and complements me on the install.

max boost 8.7 and AFR 12.5
