Default Did I just put down the lowest stock dyno numbers in LS1 history?

I dropped my car off at a friend's shop today to get thrown on the dyno. It's a 2000 A4 with a lid and a K&N. I haven't gone to pick up the car yet and see the dyno graphs but over the phone he told me it made a best of 266rwhp. I don't remember the torque number but it was low too...about 270 something. The car runs fine except a choppy idle. There's only two reasons I can think of for the low numbers. One, the dyno is a Mustang brand dyno that I've heard dynos lower then a traditional dynojet (is this true?). Second, I reset the computer last week and have only driven it about 20 miles since then. Do I have a turd?

That would be pathetic on a dynojet. With a freshly reset computer and on a mustang dyno, thats not too bad.

Dont be upset as your numbers will be much different on a dynojet.

Really, 13%? That makes me feel a lot better because that would put the car right around 300rwhp.
