Default Low # on dyno help...

Hey guys just dynoed the new 6.0 370 cu iron block and here are the results. The motor made mid 400+ hp in a stick car, but in my a4 it only made 386 hp. my shop told me my converter kept unlocking giving low numbers. How much hp do you lose when this happens. I have a stage II 4l60e and 3200 vig. Is my converter or trans bad and will this make me slower at the track? You can see on the dyno when the converter becomes unlocked that nice dip LOL.

Auto's do rob a lot more, expecially with a stall. That's still not bad through that stall though.

Your auto and stall are distorting the numbers. Take it to the track and you will be happy. 386 rwhp through a stalled auto is better than you think...
