Default Does this sound about right? 243's Torquer V3

Took my car to dyno. Just wondering if these #'s sounded about right.

02' Camaro, stock bottom end, 243 heads, Torquer V3 cam, Long Tubes, SLP LM exhaust, Auto thru 3600 stall, and 9" Ford Rear End.

It made 385 RWHP and 407 RWTQ

Have a graph? What brand dyno? Converter locked or unlocked? Ported or stock heads?

My buddy has a 02 Camaro A4, TV3, 799's and 3600 stall. He put down 420+rwh on a mustang dyno.

I'll get more info, car is still at the tuners, having a trans issue, so that may be part of it. I did hear the 9" rear sucks up about 15 HP

I would agree with the others that said that seems low. You should also look into swapping to a bigger TB if you're still running the stock unit.
Edit: And was this a mustang dyno or a dynojet? If "mustang dyno", that's probably accurate as that would be 425-ish HP...

Torque is solid, HP is low though.

Unlocked converter would make that kind of torque with that much lower horsepower. Just get some track results and see what it can do

I think that was with converter unlocked, the trans issue I'm having is the converter doesn't lock until it goes into 4th, then it locks automatically. If you put the shifter in OD, it actually shifts out of 3rd after a split second and goes right into 4th and TC locks. Falls on it's face.

Ugh, hope it gets straightened out soon.
