180 isn't bad. I pulled 183 when my car had a cat back, and a k&N filter.
Also the only dyno power adding NA for the 8 are as follows. Cat removal, AP tune, porting, K&N panel filter, Lightweight flywheel.
Long tube headers might go on that list but that has yet to be seen.
Any other mods will not show any gains on the rollers.
As for your valves they look ok, might want to post that dyno up in the dyno comparison thread.

Yeah and I would dyno somewhere else too for a comparison, every dyno is different. On my old Civic Turbo I could see a 20WHP difference between the two dynos I frequented. There is quite a bit in setting up a dyno. But what is better than a dyno is a 3rd gear pull against another equally modded or well maintained or new stock 8 
That is how I knew something was wrong.

180 isnt too bad, I knew my car would be around there, I just hoped I would get around 190... As far as NA adders you are correct Shady... Just kinda wish I had a little more HP...
9K, I was thinking about also having it dyno'd at Cobb in Plano to compare, but I do not know what kind of dyno they have... I had Sheena dyno her car with mine but she couldnt even redline her car, she is having ignition or fuel pump problems we believe, so we will figure that out soon enough and have her dyno her car again and compare it to mine...
185hp is pretty good with only those mods J, which is why id like to rebuild & port my engine... maybe I can drive down to Austin and rebuild my engine with Shady... would love to put down 200+hp to the wheels NA... maybe put a 55 shot of Nitrous and call it a day until turbo time (que Arnold)
