Default Why so low dyno numbers??

All my mods are in my Sig. I only ended up with 331 RWHP but with 370 RWTQ... WTF?! I don't think that my car would have a leak down problem because i made quite a bit of torque. I have a Z06 clutch (which isn't in my sig) also. I've had it for about 8 months now and I drive everywhere on nittos. If the clutch was slipping, would I be able to make 370 torque? Also, the A/F was right at 13.2. Once again... WTF?!

the clutch could have something to do with it your gears/midlengths are what are hurting you the most on dyno numbers. Just take it to track and see how u like it dyno queens mean nada if they cant run

Actually we need more data. Did you ATAP at the time of the run? Do you have 100% throttle body openning? Do we know what your timing was at WOT? Were you getting any KR? Any one of these or a combination of them can account for your numbers.
