I want to ask you about dyno charts.
The top dyno chart is TQ and the bottom one is for HP. Am I right?
If I'm, then you have 324.1tq?
220hp seems reasonable, but 324tq is unbelivable.

1 N m is not equal to 1 ft lb. Basic physics.

1 N m = 0.737562149 ft lb

324.1 N m torque = 239.04 ft lb torque

Havok said it best, get the thing tuned first and foremost.
As far as inserts go, I use energy suspension and they are just fine by me. If all you are looking at is 220 whp, you're there, what are you wanting to upgrade for? Sounds to me like you've already met your goal...no need to continue upgrading unless you're wanting more power....

No, dynos measure power at the wheels, there's no way for a roller to measure what's at the crank accurately. However you are on an AWD dyno which is not going to be the most accurate gauge. Find a better tuner with a dynojet for a better gauge of where you are....

You can have a dyno correct to crank hp. Is it acurate?? Maybe somewhat.

what PSI are you running??? 8 PSI?? I would say you deffinately need to get it tunned. I can only imagine how crappy that must feel. No power...POWER!!!!...no power......power!!!....no power .
