Cool Low Numbers?

Recently had mods in my sig done. Dyno sheet says 296rwhp/308rwtq. It was about 100degrees out and Florida Humidity is insane. I thought these numbers seemed kinda low considering the mods in my signature. Shop told me it was cause of the heat and they would easily show me another 15-20hp when the weather cools down. Would greatly appreciate any feedback, comments or questions. I personally thought the numbers would be higher.

Do you have the dyno sheet? What kind of dynomometer is it? I'm not a dyno expert but does it not correct for weather conditions?

I will try to post the dyno sheet. I am no dyno expert either. I believe it is a mustang dyno. The graph looked pretty smooth and the air/fuel was right on.....

For your mods, those numbers look pretty good to me. You power adders are the CAI & tune (which you don't state what octane you're using), the LT's and the X pipe. I give 15 RWHP for the CAI & tune (remembering that the gain from a CAI & tune on the '10 is lower than it is on the '05-'09), and no more than 5-10 RWHP for the LT's and O/R X, only because you don't have cams to compliment the LT's. You're looking at roughly 25 RWHP gain over the 275 RWHP typical average for the '10. Figure the heat knocked you down a few OR the dyno is off and 296 isn't too far off the mark, IMO.

296/308 with your mods is about right on a mustang dyno. On a dynojet that would be about 328hp/ 341 tq. Also regarding weather, SAE dyno's correct for weather.

you may see another 10hp gain when the weather temp drops...i agree the weather lately in the south was god awful. we've been like 105 to 115 on the heat index here in east tn so i've gotta know florida is worse and that kind of heat will drop your hp numbers on the dyno. plus a mustang dyno will show a lil lower numbers too compared to a dynojet.

Mustang dyno and Dyno Dyanmics show lower numbers then a Dyno jet but I think they're a bit low even but if you're A/F is on the money then I would say I'm wrong.
