Ok I thought i had it figured out but i guess not.

I broke my integra in to about 220 miles Fully tuned it and then went to GT auto. Thinking i was going to get the max HP out of it. Once i put the RM on and re-installed all the parts my hp was back down to the pre-brake in number.

Where did i go wrong. Seems stupid that cars are loosing HP after RM why can't they get it right.

What is the method to get MAX hp from these RM cars?

Are you sure you put ALL of the performance parts back on after the RM?
 
You RM 'd you should have done from new but dont worry you can break it in again.

This. The engine probably got a swap or a major upgrade, so the break-in period starts over. Try going for another 200-300km (about 124-186mi) and see how it goes.
 
Also remember a RM does more than just add HP. It lightens and adds aero as well. Happened to me with the '69 Z-28, the RM doesn't add as much hp, but it lightens it considerably, and aero makes it easier to drive.

Also, as other posters noted, do RM FIRST, then go add everything and break it in.
