Im believe that the 95 were not rated very high for HP, espically if you have an auto trans. Maybe like 180 HP?????.
My 97 with 5 speed is only rated at 215. But i have turned that up a bit.
Fill out your signature, so we can see what mods you have.
Do you have gauges? Is that how you measured your boost?
A boost leak causes low power and Hi EGT. CHeck all your intercooler boots that they are tight and that there are no cuts/cracks in them. Start there

94-95 were rated 160hp for automatics, and 175hp for stick shifts.

96-98 auto was 180hp and stiuck was 215hp.....


in either case, if its a stick thje clutch could be slipping, and or the timing has slipped.

loss of a few ponies can be anything from i tired engine to a tear in a boost elbow you need to start somewhere how many runs did you do on the dyno. what was the temp. if your truck is rated at 160 and you show 155 forget it
