Default K20-R build problem, HELP

A friend of mine has a swap k20 in a civic hatch, so he decide to do a budget build...

JDM K20-R motor
K-Pro
R-crew replica headers
custom 2.5inch exhaust
skunk 2 stage 2 cams without valvetrain (dont ask) stock rev limit
OBX ITB's (can't remember the size)
Aeromotive FPR
stock block

the engine dyno at ONLY 200whp fully tuned...
What the hell is wrong??????

bigger exhuast, lose the OBX itbs, get an rbc manifold.

prolly would make more power.

Loose the shitty ITB's and put the PRC or RBC intake manifold on and re-tune. Also, make sure the shop/ person tuning knows the K Series.

If you really want to get everything out of that motor... switch to a 3" exhaust, get a better header, and re-tune.

Stock DC5R swaps w/ an RBC, correct length intake, a decent swap header, and a 2.5" exhaust make 212-218 (Dynojet)
