i bet that 390hp blew the welds off your intake thats why it made less.

on a serious note you learn through experience sounds like you had a good route planned and it didn't work out happens to all of us. I had my car painted by my body shop I worked at who did good work and it came out like shit. never again. have the skilled person work on your shit when you dont know how to do it yourself helping out your business all while getting discounted isnt the best sometimes.

either way it sounds like its running pretty good just drive it and some day when you boost it get some better heads and sell those.

I think the key thing to remember here is that you said the car goes like hell, in the end isn't that a lot more important than numbers on a piece of paper? My car makes 245 rwhp but it still puts a smile on my face every time I lay into it.

yeah you're definitely right. dyno numbers are just a tuning tool. how the car drives and goes down the track is the real test. I love my car and I'm proud of it and it definitely puts a smile on my face every single day

That's how I look at it lol. I don't really stress about gas anymore. I figure I'm gonna have to pay for it no matter what, so I might as well get as much joy as I can out of each mile
