Help! Engine building
I just got my car engine back from the machine shop where some fairly major bottom end work was done. Problem is I lost hp. The car was making 203hp (9000rpm) to the wheels before and is now making 190hp (8250rpm). Power drops after 8250rpm. A/F as measured by wideband O2 is 13.5:1 right across the rev range. It should be making about 210-215hp. Below is a summary of the mods. Any ideas as to what might be srong would help. Thanks.
Before:
DC 4-1 jdm header
2.5 inch cat
Apexi N1 exhaust
AEM cai
RC440 cc injectors with walbro fuel pump
reprogrammed ECU with VAFC piggyback
Toda spec C's, Toda valvetrain

After:
Carillo rods
Forged Wiseco pistons 84mm, 11.5:1 comp
resleeved block

cam and engine timing (cams were degreed, engine timing at 16 deg BTDC)
A/F ratio
