Check to make sure the throttle is opening all the way. Some backdrafts had a problem with the gas pedal bracket bending and there was no amount of adjustment that would make the carb go WOT. My car dynoed 383rwhp before fixing the pedal assembly so that it wouldn't bend when you push the pedal, and it now makes 482rwhp. It was running rich and the a/f was very bumpy.

Also, was this with or without an air filter, and which air filter? My little K&N ate up something like 30rwhp (EDIT: It was 21rwhp).
