does this seem right? any help appreciated I bought a 94 Z28 LT1 in august, it has a few modifications and the owner before me put it on a dyno about a year before i bought it with all mods.The numbers are 243rwhp 282ft-lbs...i'm just wondering if you guys think these numbers are right for my car because they seem a little off to me??
My mods are:
-edelbrock longtube headers
-magnaflow 3'' catback
-52mm holley tb
-msd distributor,blaster coil,and wires
-K&N cai
-big brake kit
-performance struts,rear shocks,and sway bar
other than that it has been maintained well,all fluids changed constantly,and still very clean and in good shape.

I have those mods minus the TB and MSD distributor...I've just got MSD wires...and I put down 285 rwhp. A little difference I might understand but 40 hp seems a bit excessive...maybe something is off. I have Ebay headers...Edelbrock maybe isn't flowing as well, but again by 40? I have 3.73 rear gears which may help tweak the numbers a bit on a dyno...not sure though. Is it missing at all? Good fuel pressure/air fuel ratio when it pulled on the dyno? Is it leaning out up high...potentially bad fuel pump? I don't know...I would maybe try a few pulls before I condemned anything too...after all it is the dyno...not that those guys ever have any issues with their dynos or try and lure people in with low numbers that magically get higher as more mods appear to keep you coming :-p

Ummm it has 3.23 gears,its an A4,has 87000 miles on it,and it was at 2190ft elevation.I've only owned the car for just over 3 months and only drove it for 2 and a half due to weather.not sure what else to say,its my first car lol.
That's probably about right then...I didn't consider the elevation as well. I would still try a couple more pulls before I condemned anything...though if you're not terribly worried about it and it is running fine, I would leave it alone. It's close enough, has lower miles, and is in good enough condition that it seems fine and not worth much more thought. Unless you are trying to modify this car or something...

what type of dyno was it on becuase this will make a difference espically with an auto car inertia dynos such as DJ's will tend to read higher than load dynos such as mustangs and land and sea dynos
