Default DYNO DISASTER! WHATS WRONG?

I went to dynospeed racing in memphis tennessee today. My numbers were horrific. I dont even know if i can post them they are so bad. Aww screw it i need help.
(best run)MAX POWER 234.63
(best run)MAX TORQUE 264.28
run conditions 68 degrees
humidity 25%
A/F 11.2 consistantly (way way way rich)

THOSE SHOULD BE BONE STOCK NUMBERS.
i know that i dont have every mod know to man, but thats just not right. The print out only reads to 5200RPM. Why in the world would it cut off at 5200? Why is my A/f so rich? These guys were amazed. And dont worry they know what they are doing. The owner is the founder of SVTOA Memphis chapter. He has a 500hp 03 Cobra that runs 11's(check the SVTOA website), so these guys arent a novice performance shop. I paid $100 for this dissappointment, and i want to know whats wrong. Ive never been so pissed in my life I am going back next weekend for a tune(they are also a siperchip dealer), but i need to know now what is wrong with this car. PLEASE CHECK MY MODS AND TELL ME WHAT COULD BE WRONG

running rich, you just answered your own question. you need a tune, plain and simple. you should be making around 260. those shorty headers are garbage. ditch them for LT's.

Lol, Shortys are definitally not garbage, and are better than long tubes for a mild engine. And WAY better than stock considering stock is basically 1 pipe conected to all the exhaust ports.

some of us don't have the luxury of running LTs. emissions aren't very nice for you when you have LTs. At least here in VA. i know we can't have LTs around where i live.

around 13.1

your down probably 10 hp from the running rich, and another 8 probably from more timing
