Default Dyno question

Hey folks, I have a dyno question. I just had a Maggie supercharger installed (with a conservative tune). I have 4.10 gears installed as well. My dyno numbers came up like this:

HP: 422.1
TQ: 411.0

I'm kind of surprised that the torque is so low, especially considering the fact that I have 4.10 gears. Does that sound normal? For any one else here with a Maggie, what's your torque at? Do you have 4.10s or something lower?

Thanks.

Im pretty sure 4.10's hurt dyno numbers.

Well, I'm sure you'll know what my next question will be. Why? How?

shorter gears reduce your dyno numbers. But remember maggies are not known for producing dyno queens.
