do these numbers make sense???

ok so i got back from the dyno and the numbers are a little disapointing...
these are the mods i have...
header high flow cat
17% pulley
cooler plugs
mini mania foam filter

the number read (weather corrected and with the weight of the car with my weight and full tank of gas inputted...
144 hp
127 lbs of torque
12 lbs of boost
a/f 12.00

somethings not right...i dunno

the heat was high so the timing retarded knock sensor maybe...
i just ordered the snow performance meth injection stage 2 progressive kit...just for cooling not gonna tune with it (YET!!) when i do decide i would like to run 2 maps one regular without the meth and one without...are there handheld tuners for our cars??? what is the best way to go|?
thanks

For starters you should be running about 4 lbs. more boost with that pulley. Stock boost is between 11 and 12 psi.. Did you change your belt with the pulley? If your belt is too long it could be slipping on the SC.

Here is a link to a chart for the proper belt sizing.

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ize-chart.html

You should be able to see all or most of the top hole on your tensioner stop when the tensioner is in it's normal operating position. If you can't see the top hole, your belt is either too long or worn out.

Yes you definetly need to find out what's up with the boost.

On the third picture you posted you can see it a little bit. I'm not sure if that's a shadow or a hole. You need to retake the pictures and focus more to the left, on top of that spring in your pictures.

I just had another thought for you to check. Make sure the set bolts/screws are tight on the SC pulley. The pulley could be slipping on the shaft.
