I was at the dyno in April with 1300 miles on the car. Pulled 349/rwhp and 350/rwtq.

But I think Breathless dyno is wrong. It showed 375 feet pounds of torque.
if that's the case then 320 in the rain, with one of the three filters wet (soaked -the cai one) might be ok.

Were the numbers SAE corrected or just smoothed.

I think a better indication of HP is at the track. I pull 111mph at the end of the 1/4. I have to be over 330 to the wheels.

There are calculators online if you know your weight to show your RWHP.

the track is better for how it performs. doesn't it measure it's ability to slice through the air and maintain traction. while, the dyno represents a raw set of numbers for the specific set of conditions ?

dyno numbers don't always indicate performance but rather it's ability to produce performance, the rest of the chassis and driver will determine the performance of the combination. engine, car and driver (ooppss.. that's almost a trademarked term.. gotta watch it - no offence accidentprone) are what make performance.

imo.
