Dynoed 11/13/04

I went down to a local shop yesterday and had my 2002 TA WS-6 put on the dyno, this car is bone stock, as I wanted to get a baseline HP and torque rating before I start modding. The results...309.2 RWHP and 326.8 RWTQ. Is this good, bad, ugly, or decent?

Okay, check this out. After I got the car dynoed Saturday, later that night I was on my way home and the SES light came on. I took it down to my local GM service center this afternoon and they said the catalytic converter was bad. The guy at the service desk said that the C.C. had a 8/year 80,000mi. warranty on it and being that my WS-6 is a 02 with 54,000 miles I lucked into a brand new converter for FREE!!! This would probably explain the wacked out air/fuel ratio numbers that showed on my dyno results. SOOOOO, Question: Since the converter was half-*** on the way down, would my car have maybe put down even better numbers had the converter not have been bad?
