Put My Car On The Dyno, Now ???'s
Alright first off i have a 2001 GT with the auto trans, upr cold air, bbk 75mm tb, C&L upper plenum, bbk long tubes with a full custom bent exhaust w/out cats, and the diablo box tune. I put it on the dyno last night ( 2 runs ) and my best was 224.93hp/263.43tq, now i think these are good numbers if i were stock, but with the mods i have i was thinking at least 240-250hp and abit more torque. The temperature was 70 and the humidity was at 46%, looking at my air/fuel ratio i believe that i am running lean which in turn is robbing my horses. Now im am just being paranoid or should i be putting down abit more to the ground? I think monday im going to give the dyno shop a call and make an apointment to have them tune my car correctly, but i do want some info before hand. Im trying to upload a pic of the dyno sheet now.
EDIT: sorry about the image thing, im not 100% on loading them on this site yet.

Lean will give you more power... rich will rob you of the hp.
Your numbers do seem a bit light, but remember you're an auto which means you losing a lil bit more power. how much above sea level are you? The thinner air could be playing tricks on you as well... Your dyno graph is a really crappy copy and its hard to read.

yeah sorry about the crappy scan, cant do much about it, my scanner sucks. As for sea level im not 100% the run was done outside on a mobile dyno at the daytona 500 race track area.
EDIT: i know, i really hate the auto, but at the time i didnt know how to drive a 5spd yet, so it seemed like the better choice, now that i can drive a stick i kick myself for getting the auto. If i had some extra$$ i would install my 4:10's, shift kit and stall converter i have sitting in my closet.

I really don't think your #'s are that bad. My recommendation is this...dump the CAI, and get either a JLT ram air or tuneable induction with underhood filter. Finally, sell the Diablo and get an SCT X-cal II. Just my .02 and BTW THANKS for the props on my silver bucket.

a tad off topic, but invest in a stall converter with your auto - it's really a great mod for an auto fyi....
Your car should be putting around ~250 to the wheels with around 300lb ft torque if not more i would think... I think it's your tune OR the dyno you were on. I would get it dyno'ed by another shop if at all possible just to check it. If it's still low, I might even take it to another tuner.
