Default Dyno Results

So I took off to get my car dyno'ed today @ Houston Performance and I am some what upset about my numbers. She is a full-bolt-on car with everything you see in my sig plus Comp Cams XE278AH and 2500 stall converter. From what I hear the stall converter takes
away from the over all hp and being an auto does not help. But it is what it is. So here are my numbers

Over all she made 276.76 RWHP AND 280.53RWT. This was on a DynoJet and these are the SAE numbers.

If I can remember right the last time she was tuned she made 240rwhp(with out the cams, and when a little later all look at my last dyno sheet and correct myself) and today I picked up about 36hp by just adding the cams and a re-tune. All try to get the dyno sheet up but my scanner is having issues.

Where in the line of Comp cams is your cam? I really don't see those numbers being all that off (maybe a little low) for an stalled auto.... did you port the heads or were they professionally ported?

They are consider them a stage 3. I professinonally ported them myself. The stall converter needs a line lock and i dont have one. But i really dont think it would mess with the numbers.

Sebastian if i would have known you were going there i would have told you not to have gone. I also had problems there too... Chris seems.... not so bright. Those numbers are way to low.

I don't know what to tell yall guys. I wish I had answer on why my numbers are so low it really did **** me off to see them.

Paul who would you recommend to get her re-tuned and a second opinion? Or would anyone in Houston recommend someone?

Yeah I'd go to a different tuner.
Especially with your supporting mods, you should have picked up a lot more power.
