Default Kinda Disapointed

dynoed @ 306 hp and 321 torque
below is a list of what i got. i was kinda thinking i would get around 315-320 hp. Would this make a differance. they used a smaller fan and aimed it at the motor, instead of useing a biger one. and i also got the free ram air mod so if the air wasnt blowing in from under could that cause a lower #?

A lot of time the stock MAF will yeild the best results. Try throwing it back on and driving it around for a day or two.

the only hp mods you have are lid, catback, and TB. w/o knowing your year and mileage those numbers arent bad.

Do these cars loose a significant amount of compression and power after only 90k miles? All in the rings I guess? I wonder if I should have stuck with Toyotas...

Thanks,
