Angry Really odd dyno numbers..Discussion...

So final results are listed and I am truly baffled as to how the car made almost "worse than stock" numbers on a brand new motor (1100 miles)
Specs:
01' GSR Head
-Buddy Club spec3+ cams
-Buddy Club intake valves
-Stock gsr exhaust valves
-Buddy Club dual valve springs
-AEM cam gears
-Crower retainers
-ARP head studs
JDM B16a block
-shot-peaned rods
-ACL race bearings
-micropolished and balanced crank
-stock P30 pistons
Bolt-ons
-Skunk2 intake manifold
-AEM Fuel Rail
-Password JDM intake
-JDM Type R 4-1 header
-US OEM Type R Exhaust
-NGK wires
-Iridium Plugs
On the bright side, the motor runs GREAT, but just no power or torque. All ailments have been cured, but the car just took a dump on the dyno. I'm bummed, but optimistic that we will get to the bottom of this. I'm going to take it to my buddy's shop this week to run a compression test.

Any ideas guys?
THIS IS NOT MY CAR NEITHER DO I KNOW THE OWNER. JUST SAW IT ON ANOTHER FORUM AND THOUGHT I'D BE A GOOD DISCUSSION ON HERE SINCE THIS IS TAMPA AND WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE MR. VEGA'S TUNING SKILLS.
