I am very dissappointed with ss dyno! I got the 2000 black ss camaro 6 speed and it is stock except for the optional slp exhaust and air lid with a k and n filter it has 105 k miles on it and i got it dynoed today and i was very dissappointed with the numbers i had two pulls and the highest was only 277 rwhp and 289 ft/lbs of torque!!! 
doesnt that seem kind of low? i think it coud be the heat cuz it was 90 degrees out... and i have a crack in my exhaust... could those have made it dyno so low... also he made the pulls in 3rd gear...

Does seem a little low. Do a compression test on the cylinders. Dyno pulls can be made in 3rd or 4th, really depends on the amount of airflow on the car. And don't be too disappointed...your graph could look like this...
And thats supposed to be good in the turbo'd civic world

i went to speed quest a local speed shop around here... they said it was running rich too... does it make a difference if it was in third gear in stead of fourth and if it does how much of a difference?

accurate to begin with. I wouldn't be too concerned with the power output.
Chances are that you're still running the stock tune, which means you're
going to be running rich by default. Keep in mind that you have a high
mileage LS1. It's possible that there are some issues with it, but I doubt
it. I'd start by doing all the basic "tune up" type stuff...wires, plugs, fuel
filter, etc. Get a good tune from Speed Inc or a reputable shop in Illinois...
assuming that's where you're from.

As siad above, 4th gear in a M6. Car probably has some minor issues that need to be addressed before you dyno again. Do a tune-up and fix the exhaust leak before you get disillusioned...

How exactly are they suppose to do dyno pulls in an a4? Cuz when you punch it it just wants to downshift unless your going about 70mph and have it clicked to 3rd gear.

dynos should be used to tuning and to measure increases from one mod to another..on the same DYNO. Every dyno is different. Get some real world numbers... i.e.... run your car at the track. Your trap speed will be a much better indicator of how your car is running.

Mine w/ SLP lid and Dual/Dual, through paper filter put down 316hp/325ft.lbs. on a mustang dyno. That was with 57K on the clock.
I say get it re-dyno'd at a reputable shop. Wether it be Mustang, Dynojet, or any other. Once you get a good baseline at a place you can go time after time to get nice repeatable results, you will be set. Let the Modding Begin!!
