Default Mach only dyno'd @ 277 rwhp & 296 ft/lbs [sadface]

Asked a few forums, just trying to get as much input as possible. I posted this in the Mach section as well but figured I'd get more responses/opinions/advice here.

Took the Mach 1 in yesterday to get it dyno tuned. I don't have many power modifications, but I figured a tune never hurts anyways.

- Dyno Jet
- 65 degrees
- I don't know if it was SAE corrected (says CF: SAE Smoothing = 0)

Modifications:
- Magnapack catback
- VRS o/r x-pipe
- JLT ram air intake
- PHP intake spacer
- FRPP 4.10s

A couple of things brought to my attention are:
1. Doesn't have as much power as other graphs I've seen with same mods or less. (I know each dyno and car is different, so that's not my biggest concern)

2. One person mentioned that it seems the car is taking a long time to build up power.

3. The turbulence in the graph.

Made 277 rwhp and 296 ft/lbs

Does seem a bit low. A guy on my local forum with those same mods is SAE filtered and is putting out 281 RWHP and 306 RWHP without the filter applied.

Discovered why the graph is so rough. That what the SAE smoothing is. If its set to something like 3, you have a prettier, straighter line, but mine is set to 0. Learn something new every day!

If sae is set to zero that likely means its not sae corrected(unless 0 is counted and is filtering certain Hz values).

Sounds about right IMHO. There is too much dyno graph BS out there and it has everybodys expectations skewed. 5 years ago 280RWHP got 11 second times but now 300RWHP similar cars only turn mid 12s.........

My Supercharged 347(10lbs boost) only made 418/432....but on a Mustand MD240...DynoJet made 496/512....both days wer 92+ temp and 75%+ humidity(south AL) however, it was 110hp stronger than my buddies 04 cobra w pulley,cai,long tubes,exh sys!! The MD240 is usually 14-16% stingier than dynojets.....I would think your #'s are fine....RUN IT AT THE TRACK AND QUIT CRYING!

To me, his numbers seem very low though for a dyno jet, that is un corrected for SAE figures(assuming 0- no data filtering). If it WAS SAE corrected than it is near what it should be, if not then he is about 30HP shy of what pretty much everyone with a bolt on mach is dynoing. While I dont get hung up with dyno numbers, its tuff to ignore the "standard" numbers that almost everyone gets in a situation like this.
