Dyno #s: Is this healthy???

So i had my car dynoed yesterday for the first time just to get a baseline for it before i start doing any heavy mods. I put down 268 hp at the wheels and 298 ft lbs of torque. Does this seem about right with the mods in my sig???

Get your PCM tuned as well man. Headers won't bring you 300, but close.

FWIW my dad's 93 Corvette M6 did 296/328 with K&N, TB, 1.6 RRs, springs, pulley, shorties, and corsa exhaust, and a tune. And I thought it was low, but who cares it runs great.

One of these days (after I'm done with my car) I'm going to help him put on some AFRs and small cam

you should start out with suspension and some stickies, and get a good sized stall btw...all the power in the world does you no good if you get it to the pavement!
