Default 1998 trans am dyno tuned

Just got the car dyno tuned.
1998 trans am ls1 auto
Slp floWPac Kit
speed engineering LT and ORY
Pace catback

Tuner said that due to the stock long gears hgeard to run it in 2nd gear so the numbers are about 15-20 lower than actual.

Thoughts?

back in 99 when I dynoed my bone stock 98 TA with auto and 2.73s in 3rd it made 292rwhp. I then made a pull with the converter locked and it made 322rwhp.
So your looks on par for a 2nd gear pull

Would worry too much on the dyno number. Not every dyno is the same. Auto car dyno less than manual cars. If you race the mph and et will tell you what it’s doing

Seems about right for a 2.73 gear auto with headers etc to me.

Stock my 02 Z28 w/2.73 gears dyno'd 280 whp in 2nd gear.

It seems on point in my opinion. You put you a nice cam, converter and gear in that thing and it'll really surprise you.
