is this the high boost kit? if it is something might be wrong, usually DynoDynamics are the lowest reading ones out there, If you had a base dyno that would help, or if you have some dyno readings a few other cars did on that particular dyno that would help also

It seems like you've dynoed on a heartbreaker dyno. IF the greddy car is doing 240whp and your doing 307whp. You should expect about 315 from a greddy @ that psi. Thats 75whp variance from what others have done on different dynos and that would put your AP1 @ roughly 380whp which is more reasonable for your mods.
If your car feels really strong it probably is. So enjoy it and get it dynoed elsewhere and report back. If it feels weak then you probably have an issue.

I remember Mase saying he's not seen good gains with ported heads on S2000's and has even seen some lose power over stock.
cylinder compression shouldn't effect the boost pressure. what will effect boost pressure the most with a supercharged setup is the exhaust system. the charger with the same pulley can show a wide variety of boost pressures depending on the exhaust pressure.
mustang dyno's do read lower than dynojets, my experience is about 10% lower but since you have to enter the weight on the mustang dyno if could be more off if the weight is wrong. mustang dyno's are so dumb to me, they read extra low and you have to worry about the weight being entered correctly. go to a dynojet where to don't have to worry about that stuff and then see what you're number are like
sad to say I doubt the head is helping and if it is it's going to be a small improvement over the stock setup. and what tune are you using? the one that came with the kit? the thing to remember there is that tune was developed for a stock motor with all stock components. it's very possible that with all you mods that tune isn't ideal for your setup.

I actually do not know what weight they entered.
The car does feel very strong so I am hoping the low number is only because of the mustang dyno. I will try to get a few more runs on another dyno to compare the numbers.
I still couldnt figure out why my boost is so high though. I don't believe I have any restriction in my exhaust. From the J's header, to Invidia 70mm test pipe, to the Greddy TiC Turbo exhaust, everything should be pretty freeflow, and my car is now loud as ****.

i was told on my s/c hatch that after 11 psi the air being compressed was to hot any higher and caused intake temp to rise, which drops hp dont know if it applies the same here just thought id try to help also had friend dyno 50 hp diff on dynojet and mustang dyno hope u get it figured out
