Default Dyno Help!

Hey guys had car dynoed today and was expecting more(308HP/313TQ) but my graph on the HP is kind of up and down until 5100 and then it dives 15HP and then goes back up is this normal? My mods are at the bottom and no codes are present. I plan on contacting ED Wright Monday to see what he thinks but any help would be appreciatted. Thanks :mad

You could be getting some detonation (i.e. pinging, pre-ignition). Did they take any wideband O2 readings? It usually appears as a sharp drop in the curve. It's a result of the computer pulling timing after the knock sensors detect pre-ignition. If you had it tuned, definately take it back and show them the graph. They will need to richen the A/F ratio and/or back the timing off a little. Post the graph if you can.

Nope no O2 readings but you are describing what the graph looks like. Thanks for your response.
