Obviously something was wrong with the setup or the motor.
Those engines make a hell of a lot more power than that.
Hell, you can get 220HP out of an 80's 305 with a few mods. Not even in the ballpark for a Ram jet 502.

I have the ramjet long block in my 98 k3500 with the vortec injection on top. It absolutely will flat fuggin fly compared to the stock 454 it had in it. It's been in it for five years and has 120k on it and still going strong. Typical bigblock though it uses about a quart every 1k miles or so but it has done that since it was brand new. Ford guys screwed up somewhere and all hate to lose to a bowtie. One of these days I am going to used the ramjet injection stuff on a chevelle with a built 454 but we'll see.
