Smile My first Dyno Runs

Took my car to MTI in Houston to get a baseline before I do in internal engine work. Just want to get some educated opinions. Overall I am happy with the numbers. The only thing that bothers me is the how big the difference is between my locked and unlocked numbers. I wasnt expecting that big of a loss.

Conditions: 93 degrees and humid, about sea level

Car: 2001 A4 SS

Mods:
FLP LT's
3" ORX w/ spintech spiral mufflers
Lid
Home Ported TB
Descreen MAF ends
ASP Crank Pulley
3500 TCI SSF
HPP3 Program

Numbers:
Locked : 345 rwhp / 353 rwtq
Unlocked : 323 rwhp / 339 rwtq
#'s are SAE Corrected

Just want to add I had a good time seeing all the bad *** cars up there. Thanks to Jason and the other guys for putting up with my stupid questions. Got to meet our Texas director, Crager, too. He's a cool cat. Anyway, let me know what you guys think.

Cool, I thought the locked numbers were good, but the unlucked #'s bother me. I figure only 93.5% effeciency on the TC, shouldn't it be closer to 97%?

numbers sound about right for your mods. mine are in sig and we seem about the same (no TC for comparison of locked vs unlocked however), but seeing all of the loss us A4s experience in the tranny/drivetrain, i don't think your numbers are bad whatsoever...
