Default New dyno #'s, GTP h/c..advice needed...please!

ok guys i went to the dyno the other day, i am hella pissed off about my numbers, my torque is way low and my hp is a little low as well.
389 hp and 367 tq
91 gas, busted passenger o2 sensor and exhaust leak from my headers to my true duals, the clamps don't seal right. it's an 1998 a4 ta with my mods in my sig. any advice would be greatly appreciated. i will post the graph in a day or so, i just need to scan it, by the way this setup is ls1edit tuned. i know i have a small cam, but i am waiting for a couple months to smog, then i will change to the tsp 231/237 cam. anyway do you guys have any advice on how i can atleast break 400 hp, i was thinking an electric waterpump and some yella terra rocker. thanks in advance.

Put a 6 speed in.
Dont worry to much about 400hp just worry about what it does at the track, this is more important. These are defentially not the worse numbers I have ever seen.

I'd fix the exhaust leaks and the O2 sensor before worrying about the numbers. Also as for breaking 400rwhp, what cam does GTP suggest using?

When you dyno'd the car was the converter locked or unlocked? I'm guessing locked if the torque was 367

I know how you feel. When i had my car dynoed it was 401rwh and 378 rwt the numbers sucked. And when i went to the track i ran a 11.90 at 118 mph and i knew that sucked for my setup and then i tuned my timing i ran 11.30 all day at over 120 mph by a simple tune adjustment. Sometime tuners don't tune for for max power but tune to be save. I would like to see what my car dynos now with my timing tune. And no kr

Fix your exhaust leaks and O2s before making any other changes to the combo and redyno

That's over 400rwhp locked.

Fix your problems first you are losing power there too.
