Do my dyno numbers seem low to you?

Finally got it on the dyno and this was the result. Mods are in my signature. Just want opinions from others on the forums. They seem a little low to me honestly.

What makes you think your tuner's dyno isn't correct?

Wishful thinking...I guess I just wish it was higher, but oh well.. I guess that explains why I can barely go 13.9 at the track and only 101 trap speed. Well this and my tires suck (sumitomo) and I can't drive for **** (2.275 best 60' time) and the fact that I have a convertible with 18 inch rims.

With better tires and more track time you'll get better numbers at the track.

You'll get better numbers if your car is tuned on a dyno. Canned mail order tunes are crap.

Numbers seem a little low but the power under the curve looks really nice. you do have to remember the 262 cam isn't a "big" cam.

Take into account the years and the parasitic drain, I think those are decent numbers for the mods you have. It is disheartening that they aren't higher, but they aren't numbers to be ashamed of.

Get a dyno tune and those numbers could go up. However, as mentioned, the curve looks really good for a canned tune.

If you had done a before/after I bet you would feel a little better about this.
