Default Got my car dynoed

So Monday night I went to get my car dynoed and the A/F checked because it was tuned with a Diablo Sport. It came out at 335 HP and 344 Torque. I was quite happy. And the A/F was almost dead on. Very good with the Diablo. My question is and I know this is dumb but I just want to make sure these are the numbers to the wheels. Not on the motor. I was happy and thought I would share.

Thanks. I was happy. The guy running the dyno said it'll probably make 320 and I said 310 so ya I was happy. He said its funny that the Trans Ams and Camaros always dyno higher then the vettes at their dyno.

out of curiousity, what was the A/F throughout and final timing?

Did you use a mail order tune, or the diablo box tune?


better yet, can you just post up the graph? LOL

Here you go. You can see all the A/F stuff on there. It was a hand held Diablo done by the previous owner

I just thought it was funny because of the HP rating GM gave the cars and how crap it is then on a dyno its the other way around. IDK...

That's the smoothest with a box tune.....I have a hard time believing that's a box tune. I'd be more apt to believe the previous owner misinformed or some kind of miscommunication.
