Default are these good numbers??

I just got my first dyno tune and I was a little dissapointed with the numbers but the guy said they are actualy pretty good for an automatic 2 valve... so now I'm confused and I will ask the insight of the forums... good numbers?

Max power=243.1rwhp
Max TQ=280.5 lbs

Stock 2V with auto trans run ~211RWHP. So, 32hp is ok, but I would say the HP/torque should be more.

The hp is right where it should be with a tune and the mods that you have. However, I think the torque is a bit on the low side.

Its really hard to judge how good the numbers are because theyre pretty much worthless...Most every dyno is going to read different so theres no real way to say these ARE the right numbers, but they are in the right area.

Not trying being a noobie..I dont really know much about dynos. But what is the big difference between the dyno jet and the mustang dyno. I know the mustang dyno is specific for it.

a mustang dyno has nothing to do with an actual mustang, it's just a brand/manufacturer of a dyno. like dynojet, dyno dynamics.

dynojets are pretty much the most accurate, and are recognized as such.

to know for sure, the best thing to do is dyno it a few times on a few different dynos. the last 5 times my car has pulled i made from 305-309 rwhp, 309 being the first of those 5 what I put down on the last pull of my last dynotune.
