Default Disappointing dyno results?

Dynoed today after installing Comp. Cams 238/240 605/609 on a 112 lsa, longtubes, ory (no cats), valve springs, push rods, Ls-6 oil pump, tune....ended up with 365 rwhp and 350 rwtq on a mustang dyno. Car is an 02 SS with an A4.....Good? Bad? average? Thanks for any input, Ron

It seems to be locked to me & As foff667 stated above track numbers talk since you're running an A4 buddy

Not bad figured it would be a little higher. I would take it to the track to see what she will do.

Yeah, the Mustang dyno will humble you...As long as the tune is right, just hit the track and see what the track says...Dynos are good tuning tools..but don't get hung up on the numbers...I would think that a cam that size would like more rpm, though...
