WTF... Bone stock you should be looking at 280 hp and 343 tq at the flywheel. Doing the math for drivetrain / accessory loss, it sems like you didn't gain much at all. I would have expected more than that from the ported intake, ported heads, and new camshaft.

Not saying that it is your problem... but when I first installed my s/c, I literally lost 60rwhp due to screwed up fuel pressure. Of course, that was during the FMU / 19# injector days.
