What elevation are you at? I am over in Salt Lake City, Utah at 4500 ft. I attached my K24 swap Dynojet Dyno. I ran DC DIC cams as well, with KMIATA Intake Manifold, 1320 header with a custom ASP megaphone, and 3" exhaust, 70mm Skunk2 throttle body, and I purposely ran a smaller intake tube similar to your K&N FIPK to choke the top end. I have talked to other K Swapped vehicle owners - Miata, and FRS who opted for the same cams at sea level they were both around 228-230 HP. I was right on the money for what I needed for TT5, my car is fully gutted with 180 lbs of ballast. I was able to get 50% Left, 50% Rear and 50% crossweight on the car with the added ballast. Pretty neat.
I am at 5200 ft of elevation although I don't think that matters with the correction factor. It could simply be down to a heartbreak dyno. I do think the oem header collector being narrowed down to 2.25 I. D. is what really prevents me from making the same power as the kpi swap stuff (I believe the miata and frs header collector is near 3 inches iirc). A local competitor who had a k swap 86 was only a few hp more than I was though. Not a big concern as most of the people I compete against end up going to this dyno and we build our cars around the power we put down there.
