I would expect more as well.

The track has many variables over a dyno.

You could have a 302 run WAY faster than a 347, depending on many things.

Some major variables are DRIVER SKILL, ALTITUDE, RACE WEIGHT, SUSPENSION/TIRES (for you "ET" guys).

here's what i've got into my suspension: subframes, u/l ca's, rear drag shocks, and i don't have this yet but by next summer i'll have front drag struts and drag springs. with that and 4.10's its capable of mid 12's? remember this is with an aode.
also since the hp is low i can safely throw on a 100 shot, if/when i do this would high 11's be in my forecast?

That dyno could just be crazy or your car could have a problem. Take the car to the track and see what your trap speed is. Don't even worry about your times first time out, they are going to suck regardless until your used to the car at the track. Times lie, trap speed most of the time does not. That's the quickest way to tell what kind of power the car is making and what kind of times you can see out of it.
