Sell it to someone who cares less about dyno numbers. The car will run mid to high 11s all day guaranteed.

Depends on the cam. I put a cam in my LS2 auto with the stock stall and it drives nearly like stock.

I gained 60whp with cam, long tubes, x pipe, and tune. I would have expected more than 15rwhp but nowhere near 40-50 from LTs and a cold air intake.

Mustang dyno generally throw up lower power numbers, could have just been the place you went. Could have been the weather, humidity, etc that all played a roll. Cannot compare numbers from different cars on different dynos at different times. Just does not work.

I think people would just be happier if tuners never told them the dyno numbers and just had them go drive it. Its just a guide anyway.

Did you talk to the tuner and ask him if your numbers are on par with other ls3's with the same mods on that dyno. You have a very common setup. The numbers don't really mean anything. My car did 540 on a mustang dyno. If I put it on a dyno jet it would prob do another 20-30 hp.

Ok I have been reading mustang dynos
Are about 12 to 13 % lower then a dyno jet.

That said 368 hp +12% = 412.6 hp
That would be dyno jet numbers .

On a A6 I could live with that .
Yes I have to drive the car to real tell .
Thanks for all the info guys .

Ok back in town.
Wife picked up car Bill or receipt stated traction control was not working properly so they disconnected fuse for Dyno ? I'll have to see what this is about .
Seems like tires don't spin from dead stop like they use to ? I did put brand new super sports on car right before headers ......they can't grip that good ?
Or maybe spinning but not squealing some black stuff under fenders after I tried .Maybe traction control is stuck on . Yes I tried all the modes .
Mid and top rpm seem hotter . I already had a corsa sport on car . It's louder at start up and WOT but not to loud . I like the sound its tame under cruise with no drone . I will drive it some more and do a follow up .
