Default Dyno tuned, bolt ons, numbers inside!

Finally got everything finished up. Mods listed.

2000 Trans Am WS6 A4

349.66 rwhp, 352.97 rwtq

All Mods on car:
TSP 1 7/8 Long Tubes
TSP ORY
Magnaflow #16723 Catback
3.73 Motive Gears with Moser Axles
SLP Lid
Descreened MAF (not that I really wanted to do this)
LS6 Intake Manifold
Prothane Motor Mounts
UMI Weld-In Subframe Connectors
Dual DMH Cutouts (tuned with cutouts CLOSED)

Now, what does SAE Smoothing 5 mean? That just means corrected to temp and pressure, correct?

Yes and no. Yes it corrects for temp. and altitude so that your numbers should be somewhat comparable to others at different locations. But it also actually smooths out the curve or line of the graph. Well that's what the smoothing factor does. Other wise the graph would look really bumpy and choppy. You know how the end of your graph jumps up and down a bit, well your whole graph would look kinda like that with the end of it being even more pronounced.

Nice Numbers by the way!

Was the pull w/the cut-out closed or open?
You might check into why it is breaking up before 6,000 rpm?

Numbers are good for an A4.

Cutout was closed for all pulls and tuning. And breaking up before 6,000 rpm, I have no idea about tuning or hp/torque curves - as far as what they should look like. You are referring to how the horsepower drops down, then up, then down, then up, then all the way down, right?

This is what a Dynograph looks like without smoothing. As you can see there are lots of little fluctuations between data points, especially on the Torque curve. Smoothing basically averages out the differences between these data points and uses a mathematical formula to best fit a line to them.

breaking up possibly valve float. mine was at 5500 when it was dyno tuned due to car sitting for years wore out the springs that were compressed when it sat.

I honestly can't answer that, never got numbers completely stock, and then also didn't get a baseline rwhp/rwtq run because the guy who did the tuning started before doing a baseline pull. But I can tell you that bone stock my car felt like it was lacking for sure, then even after all mods it still felt like it was lacking, but its a whole new animal now after the tune and I love it.
