Is your crank pinned? What is your intake setup? What is your intake Diameter? What Throttlebody?

I'd guess the drop in boost would be caused by belt slip, crank pulley slip, or too small of an intake tract.

As for porting, what heads do you have? Cathedral or L92 ports. If L92 then I believe there is some room for gains, on the Cathedral there is very little porting you can do on the lower manifold. I did mine this winter and it required very little to make it true.

I'd open up the bottom of the box somehow. You need to let more air in, I'd bet that's part of your problem.
