boosted 01 accord makin VERY low power! HELP!!!
i have an automatic f23a1 and making a mere 195hp to the wheel with 5lbs of boost! where did i go wrong? 
have ported and polished head and a gude cam, a drag turbo kit with a custom 2.5 into 3.00inch exhaust with greddy's emanage ultimate.
could it be bcuz i have an auto tranny thats holding up? maybe get bigger injectors? more boost?
any n all help would be really appreciated!

Why did you tune on 5psi?? To me, that's a huge waste of time. The obvious things to me are the 2.5" restriction, the auto tranny and especially the eManage. Go with a real EMS and you'll have better luck.
List your setup and post your dyno graph...that will give us a lot better idea of what may be wrong.

Re: (Schister66)
how much would the tranny be holding back tho?
should i consider on getting fuel pump? maybe a better fuel pressure regulator? and also, what should be the spark plug heat range and the gap?
and only 5psi to make reliable and safe power without breaking anything

Re: (S1n1SteR)
2.5" exhaust isnt near restrictive at that level. what size injectors are you running you never stated. a fuel pressure regulator wont help you any.
there arent many ems options for the automatic users. dyno graph would be great.

I agree. The stock F23 only dyno at ~120ish WHP. You're doing pretty damned well on an auto at 5 psi.
