Got my car dyno tuned today....
Like the title says. I got a dyno tune. At a glance it looks great but in reality it is only a 5-7 hp gain. The torque converter locking up caused a spike that gives a false reading. Anyway here it is.

Yeah but that is where it made the most power. Everytime we made it richer it lost about 5-10 hp reguardless of the timing. The tuner thinks it is my GMS MAF. He says I would make as much power or more with the stock MAF. Oh well. The 355 rwhp is the base line pull. You can see that the A/F looks better on the final pull than it did on the first. Needless to say I am disappointed. But there isn't anything I can do right now.

Pretty good I guess. I was hoping for a legit 375 rwhp. I thought that would be pretty easy to reach with a cam, headers, and a ORY.
It just sucks that all of the money that I have spent on the car and that is all of the hp that I get. It is discouraging. I wish I had a M6!!

14:1 on the dyno is going to be way lean under load on the street. I would richen it up or be prepared to pay the piper... I would hate to read your next post of my pistons have holes in them... BTW that A4 with a TR224, headers and a Stall Converter would eat a comperable 6 speed up at the track. I ran 11.70 @ 115 with a simular setup to what you have but with a smaller cam.

yes it needs to be around 12.5 or so on a dyno jet, notice how it was richened up and it made more power? that needs to be done untill it stops making more power and then richened up about a half point more, atleast on a dynojet. on the street it will lean up that extra half point or so.

nope doesnt change my mind...just because it doesnt knock on a dyno(less load) doesnt mean it wont knock on teh street(more load) thats why youll hear people bickering to see A/F ratios when a car makes an abnormal amount of power is because sometimes tuners will lean out the a/f ratio which will make more power but then its not the way a car should be driven on the street or at a track with a 20mph head wind.
