Ehh, Im somewhat dissappointed. 2004 cts-v
ls6
Although the V normally doesnt dyno as high as 01-04 z06's (why I dont know) Im still somewhat dissatisfied. Shouldnt I be making more power?
k&n flat panel
TB bypass
Tr-55 plugs
Kooks 1 3/4 LT's
No cats
Magnaflow exhaust
Dyno Tuned
I do have an odd raspy flappy exhaust note, Im running around 24* of timing I believe. And the air fuel seems good. Any ideas? would adding a 160*Thermostat and Msd wires do anything? Im also thinking about a pnp throttle body. I also have this 4 inch aluminum intake tube (for some reason the tuner told me to stay away from it because of heat soak?) but my stock tube gets awfully narrow squeeze even worse than the stock gto intake tubes. So Im at a loss. What could be wrong? Torque was at 342

Fla,
You've also got to remember that no two dyno's are the same. Do you have any other V's that have used that dyno to compare to? If not I wouldn't sweat it. Dyno's are there to stroke your ego only, if you aren't using it to compare progress from mod to mod.
In december after having my ported fast 90/90 installed, I dyno'd at 378 on a local mustang dyno (FBC's mustang 1100). 10 days ago I went across town to get a baseline beofre my cam install on another dyno (PSI's mustang 1100), and with the same mods, I dyno'd at 355.
It's all relative, don't worry about it.
If you REALLY want to know where you stack up, go do some 1/4 passes, and look at your MPH, and post it up. That will tell the story.
