Default what's my next best step??

Ok, ill start by saying this, I have a ls/vtec, b16 head, b18 block. the following setup is making only 177whp and 126 tq.
things included in the build are as follows,
ITR intake valves
aebs intake mani
omnipower springs and retainers
bc3+ cams
fidanza cam gears
b&m fpr
rc 550 cc injectors
hondata managed
11.8:1 cr.(srp pistons)
eagle h-beams
z10 block girdle
lightened flywheel
act hdss
hondata manifold gasket (plastic im gasket)
ok, that is my motor,
now for my exhaust setup,
I have a dc 4-1 header with a 2 1/4 inch collector
2 1/4 inch piping through a highflow cat by magnaflow and magnaflow resonator
with a tanabe straight through muffler. I NEED to know what to do next in-order to get me closer to 200 hp.
thanks,
Steven

I think you need to look into a more capable header/exhaust combo.

Also, what type of dyno was it?

a dyno-jet, the motor had 500 miles on it at the time of dyno, maybe this has something to do with it, and also maybe it has something to do with the tuner...

yeah, with that setup , you should be able to 200 hp. Maybe the injectors should be 310? I duno, I've just researched that they are usually that.

well you should be making more power, a good person to contact would be B19coupe, that guy is making almost 244 hp to the wheel he has a post up called something like finally 244 whp at church's all i have to say is if he can do it, then maybe you should just go to the main source, i dont know the guy, have just wrote some posts in his thread, and he seems real cool. Dont be unmotivated there are plenty of different options for your motor.

can you give me more information about these people, I wanna hit 200, so I have decided the next step will be, 2.5 inch mandrel bent exhaust with a magnaflow resonator and maybe tanabe muffler. Anyhow, its gonna be 2.5 inch all the way back. Also, I think I am gonna get a rmf or anr header, or maybe a tri-y design header. Anyhow, I am gonna hit the local dyno to see what difference it has made since its broken in and I played witht he cam gears a little bit.
