Default Dyno seem too low?

My mods are in my sig, 370 rwhp, 355 rwtq. Does this sound about right. I was hoping for more, but I have begun to think that everybody who claims 400+ hp on a relatively small 224 -228 cam isnt telling the truth... lol

Mustang or Dynojet? Are you tuned?? If its tuned and those numbers are dynojet then they are a little low...don't sweat it though. Dyno #s are a tuning tool.

M6, tuned, on a dynojet. It made 340hp, 336 rwtq untuned...

Edit, I should add its through a 12 bolt with 4.11's, and it has developed a whine, I believe it to be the pinion bearings.....

well you are giving up some power with the 12 bolt and gears but its a lil more security so id say if you still had stock rear end you wud be up around 385 or 390hp

and with a cutout you would be alot closer to 400hp also. my dual cutouts are right behind my headers and they added, on a dyno, 15rwhp over my loudmouth, which flows really well on its own.

Don`tfeel bad. I got 380rwhp and 370rwtq with my set-up in sig with converter unlocked and 510rwhp on spray. Could have locked it and got 410-414rwhp but O`well. I have 12-bolt and all also with A4. I dyno`d at MTI locked and she pulled 425rwhp and like 580rwhp on spray. So don`t worry about the numbers. It`s how she runs on the street that matters. There are alot of low RWHP cars running sweet times. Good Luck!

Cat's or no cats? Through an open cutout or a closed catback? Where was the tune done? What wheels/tires did you dyno on? Too many variables to decide if you're low or not. I'd venture to say not.
