Sounds decent to me. If you had a tune done it would make a bit of a difference also.

Sounds like it isn't tuned, especially with LTs. But they are still decent #'s though, congrats.

Yeah, you're probably down 20-30 HP untuned. Off topic: You ride BMX? What do you have? I ride an S&M L.A.F., mostly street.

get your car tuned, and don't worry about the dyno #s. I know it is hard to believe, but dyno #s are irrelevant. Look for gains (baseline v. final). For instance, my car dynoed 452rwhp on one dyno. the next day down the street (same tune, temp, hum., alt) it lost 30 rwhp on a different dyno.

Get a stall a shift kit, and a tune and your car will fly. Bolted a4s with a stall are some of the fastest (non-heavily modified) cars on the road IMO. I raced one from a dig the other day and didn't reel him in until 3rd.

The reason your missing power is because headers throw your fuel map for a curve. Most go rich, but in my case went dangerously lean with mine. That is where your missing power and adding a little bit of timing on top of it. regardless it's worth it in my opinion
