Disappointed with my numbers We recently had a "Dyno day". A local Fbody organization got a good deal for 2 pulls. I only got one pull because I guess my stall wouldn't lock and the guy was having problems getting a good run out of it. Anyways, I've got Pacesetters, a TCI SSF 3500 stall, Free mods, Lid, and Cut out. I only dynoed 303 RWHP, but I had 355 TQ. I've noticed that on LS1s the rwhp is usually about 5-10 less than tq. Is there something wrong with my car or what should I do?? I mean my cousin dynoed his bone stock 2000 M6 Z28 and he had 323/333. So what's wrong? What should I do to get these numbers up?
Dont read into those #'s too much. How it feels on the street or track is what counts. Also a M6 will make higher #'s than an A4. Go and race your cousin to get a good compairison.
I didn't know there was a dyno place here in the Valley. Where exactly is it?

I was disapointed with mine too (sig) but was told by a few different people who know what they are talking about that its right about where it should be. You have lt's & I dont. Maybe you need a tune?

My a4 with all the mods in my sig only pulled 357hp & 379tq. But at the track It was running 12.00's back to back.. I was also disapointed, but at the track is what counts. Just think, you can say you have a 300hp car that runs mid-high 12's.
