Stroker 2.4 low whp numbers :(
I recently bought a s2k with a bc 2.47 stroker kit. I had my car tuned using haltech ps1000 and only made 238whp and 181.6 ft/lbs on a dynojet. Does anybody have any idea why numbers would be so low? From what I gathered I should be well into the 260whp range. My compression was 250 in all four cylinders.
My mods....
Bc stroker 89mm/11.5:1
bc stage 2 cams
Acl bearings rods and mains
Bc dual spring and retainers kit(limited street/race)
Intake valves 36mm
Exhaust valves 31mm
Block sleeves-darton m.I.d87mm-90 bore
Arp head studs
Cometic head gasket
Mild port on cylinder head
Haltech ps1000
I'd 725 cc injectors
Berk header /test pipe
Buddy club exhaust
Aem v2 cold air
Skunk 2 throttle body
Any theories on why my power output is so low? From what I hear dynopacks give higher power numbers then other dynos.

Took off the valve cover. All bc parts are there. As far as the block goes I don't know. I am going by the compression,the receipts I have and the decent tq numbers. I really don't know for sure but it seems to be legit.

for starters id suggest ensuring ur running at least a full 3" minimum exhaust from header back... if you aren't id upgrade that first.... next to yield better power from all that cylinder volume id step up to stage 3 BC NA cams...
i wud be nice if you were to post a copy of ur dyno graph and/or a saved datalog...
but for as i said start with checking ur exhaust...

Would the exhaust be that much of a bottle neck?

post the dyno chart.
What header do you have? do you still have the stock cat? Your numbers seem right inline with previous 2.4L motors I have tuned with stock exhaust/small exhaust parts.
I'd also get a bigger intake, a custom 4 inch cold air will really help that motor up top.

is that buddy club exhaust a dual exit? go with a single exit 3 inch and like wadzii said go with a larger intake. the intake is going to net you more gains up top. what's the compression ratio? what were you guys revving to the motor to?
