Default Upset with Vortech dyno numbers. Opinions?

I had my car get tuned today. The numbers came out at 398 rwhp and 455 rwtq. I don't how many pounds its being run on, but It seems like the numbers are super low, and quirky cause I thought centris make more hp than tq. I'm hooking the boost gauge up tomorrow and will see how much I'm running, plus I'll ask the tuner. I wasn't there for the pulls cause I had to be at work. What do you guys think? The kit says 462 rwhp. Its the Vortech HO w/ an aftercooler. Thanks.

05 GT manual too

Forgot to also say that the tuner said his dyno reads about 15% low of reality and its a mustang dyno.

See what it does at the track. Dynos don't win races.

Did you get these numbers from a printout from the dyno session or verbally? Seems like they were reversed. Had mine retuned recently with the same kit as yours and came out to 451 rwhp and 390 rwtq.

I was standing right at the computer when the numbers came out. I was confused at first cause I thought the numbers were reversed like you guys said. I'm thinking about saving up some money and going to a dynojet to see the run instead. I'll let you all know the pounds of boost that it's running at when I find out
