Default Dyno ???

Ok i just got my car back from the cam install and it dynoed at 358rwhp. I was really disappointed that it would be that low. Does that even sound right? Heres my mods: borla catback 3in exhaust, lid, smooth below, LT, Stage 3 Century racing transmission w/3200 stall, Torque arm, front/rear sway bar, underdrive pulley, and custom comp cam 232/234 114. Plus previous tunes.
And i think thats all the performance mods that i can think of.

doesnt sound too far off, automatic with a high stall will eat up a lot of power.

was the convertor locked or unlocked

dont worry too much about dyno numbers, especially on an automatic with a stall. all that matters is what it does at the track.

Yeah. Get it to a track, Get the trap speed and use one of the calculators on the net to determine a HP level based on Trap speed and the cars weight. THere's been plenty of A4 guys that had 'okay' numbers on the dyno but were killers at the track.

yea you'd dyno a good bit more with a six speed, but with that stall from a dig a 6 speed would have a hard time keeping up with the same setup.
