Low Power, Need Help!

Here's my story.....

This year, I have installed a new Adkins ported engine and JSpec Turbo's. I also installed a new O2 sensor.

Last year, Downpipe, Catback, Hi Flow Cat, ECU, Intake, Boost guage, Profec B.

I think I should have 275 - 300rwhp at this point. The boost is ramping up quickly and is in an 11-9-11 pattern.

The power feels less than when she was stock.

Any ideas on where to look for my problem?

Did you do a compression check on the engine. Is the turbo spooling? Are you running it really rich?

That sucks! I have no clue either you packed about 3000lbs extra on the car or........I don't know. I am not good at diagnosing engine problems over the net.
