You should be make more than that on a Vortech unit, even with stock injectors. Did you double check all your connections?
I would not recommend anything but stock injectors with a oem ecu'd setup. I know 440's can be used, but you're asking for headaches and the need to further screw with the Vortech fuel hickey-ma-do-bop.

you should be putting down more boost especially given how cold it is right now. do you have a boost gauge? how did you hook it up if so? did you check belt tension? did you check all the couplers and clamps for leaks and tightness? are you running it up to 9krpm?

well i got tuned on an AEM EMS with a Wideband. I also know that the vortech is supposed to put out 7lbs. So i am going to have to take it to another shop. These guys really pissed me off. Also, i no longer have side skirts. Happened while they were fixin my speedometer after i had to bring it back to them to complain. Oh and i cant go above 8k rpm on an AP1. I have to call them. But i just got done with a 14hr drive. So sleep is first.

Damn man...they f-ed you. I think a New tune from someone who knows his way around an EMS will be a whole new feeling of the car and S/Cer. I know the first tune I had the guy didn't know anything about what he was doing he just wanted money. I had 650's in at the time and I later found out he tuned me for having in 440's....which i never had in the first place. I think with what you have on the car and what you put into it you should see 320 plus. Trust me too when i say 300 well tuned smooth hp feels a hell of a lot better than baddly tuned 300 hp.

You have EMS? Do you have plans to go bigger(actually smaller pulley, larger injectors, etc)? If you don't, you're asking for headaches. Honestly.

Listen to the other squid, evf2000. He's been down the road more than a couple of times with this car.
