Are you running the 3.25" pulley? You should definitely be seeing more power than you are. The most likely reason your numbers are low is because of your tune. Get a REAL dyno tune and your numbers will jump a bunch. Your A/F ratio could definitely use some work. Also are you having any belt slip?

We did a KB 2.2 install and ending up getting over 540RWHP about 2 months ago on 91 Octane gas. Jeff is right, you need to get the car to a Dyno and get a better tune. I would check the items Jeff has suggested and if you still need more help give us a ring.

If you bought straight from KB i would get in touch with them to give them the run files to possibly make adjustments with a new chip.

Don't know if they will go so far to do so ....... they may recommend to get a custom tune.

Good luck
