Message I have been installing the sport 500 turbos since 1990 and I have never seen a set dyno that low at that boost level.
I think you are looking at the wrong area to make changes for improvement.
Based on your dyno results compared to what is normal, I would say you MUST have other problems.
We have a sport 500 automatic car that makes 487 RWHP.
The average is 450 to 500 RWHP at that boost level.
The two areas I would look at if it were me would be....
1. Cam Timing
2. Torque Converter problems or trans problems.
Cam timing is huge for how a engine with turbos moves air.
The converter can rob tons of power if not designed properly or if something move internally in the converter.
The transmission could also have a bind if everything is not perfect.
I have seen poor auto trans rebuilds rob over 100 HP. When upgrading valve bodies you really have to do a ton of testing to get it right.
Best of luck
