I just bought a 98 Z28 (automatic) last week and yesterday had the opportunity to put it up on a dyno. I'm a little confused with the results. I searched the forums for info but could not find a good "how to" thread. Any feedback is appreciated!
Here's the printout I got:

hmm...i dyno'd mine @ SMS as well, and my graph is different....
they didnt set it up right i bet. go back and tell them to do it again, b/c there is NO way you only make 145 rwtq...
when did you have it dyno'd?

well, im not sure if they set up the dyno different for different types of cars....but did you happen to dyno it after an import? thats the only thing i can think of. i normally goto SMS since its the cheapest dyno around, its like 65 bucks, right?

I like SMS too, they're nice guys. They have not worked on my Z28 or my husband's car, but I had planned on bringing mine in for some work there when I start doing mods.
edit: And yes, the standard rate for three pulls is $65.

well, for one thing, the bottom of the sheet should be RPM's, not MPH...thats just a standard thing (to me atleast). but something def isnt right, i would take it back to them for sure.
i was going to have them work on mine, but they didnt know how to weld in LCA relocation brackets, so i had to get under the car and show them...and they dont work on many fbody's so i decided to do the work myself
