definitely low...for a DynoJet. Was this a Mustang dyno by chance?
Those numbers would be typical for a STOCK LT1 on a dynojet.

Stock everything else? If so from what I've seen thats about average. But for having those mods I'd expect a bit higher. Any info on A/F, humidity, alt, etc? Those might explain the numbers better.

Yep, without a tune he isn't that far off. Most autos stock dyno ~240-250 to the wheels depending on mileage and maintenance. With a dyno's margin of error you shouldnt front too much about the "missing" 5hp or so.
