Default turbo ls vtech problems

ive been working on tuning my buddys built ls vtec with a sc61, but it just doesnt seem to make power at 20lbs it only made 325hp with 19* timing.

the motor is:

eagle rods
wiseco pistons 8.5 to 1
b16 head
drag manifold
sc61

once it hits 7k the power just drops off like the motors choking. from everything ive seen 15lbs to should make almost 400.

Check your cams if there off a one by one tooth it will rob power

Sounds like the phone cord isn't plugged in.

Or VTEC's not engaging.

he was having problem before with vtech not engaging before the motor was rebuild. were using a s300 to tune it. before the rebuild when you set it to follow vtech it would never change maps but now its change to the high speed map just fine. im gonna have some more time with it this weekend gonna check the cams and timing.

First issue I see is the Drag manifold. What cams is it running? Exhaust size could also cause an issue. Injector size, pump type and fuel type?
