241 casting heads, off a newer camaro.

i ran 365/350 through a4 with 3.73s and stall. supposibly a4 dont dyno as high, and the 3.73s and back rims supposibly slow it down? or so im told.
i went and dynoed it again recently and dynoed 355/350 but it was a worse day as in, no air 100 degrees. I feel like i am low, is there anything that could be wrong? compresition ratio or something? or does that sound right?

yeah that does seem a little low, but its more important how your car feels and actauallly runs.
I've seen cars dyno 410RWHP lose to cars that only dyno like 370RWHP. All a dyno is doing is measuring what your power is at the top end and not how it builds power on the street thorough the RPM range

hmm. You think there is any malfunction or anything that i might need to check? or do you think it just could be that persons dyno on that certain day kind of thing?

everytime its dynoed it gets tuned again. its funny cuz ill pull up get it dynoed and its at like 315 then do a little tuning on the comp and im at 360. kind of sounds strange to me... but i dunno.
