Default First Dyno runs, your thoughts?

98 A4 with fresh air intake, Corsa cat back, LS6 intake manifold, 3.42 gears and a Vig 2800 stall. Ran 12.71 at 107.50 with a 1.78 sixty before the LS6 intake. I dont have any other dyno runs to compare this with, whatcha think?

Tq 301.90

Conditions, 65.57 deg F, 29.78 in Hg 45% humidity

Thanks
Matt

Tq seems a little low. Probably would be a good idea to get a dyno tune.

I also thought it was a little low, this was done at a local show/meet and the shop that did it was used to doing alot of rice. Can the calibration of the machine(Dynojet) be off, they couldnt print me a graph that I could read.....The graphs are kind of screwed up, only really got the numbers.They kept losing the tach signal during the runs too.I really did it just for fun, when I get down to tuning the car it probably wont be there.Thanks for the input.

I'd Expect less but not that much less.

Your rwhp should be around 310/315rwtq! I had a similiar set up with the PT-2400.

Was it done locked or unlocked? Which gear? Some run the auto's in 2nd gear. I don't think the numbers are low at all, especially if the converter wasn't locked. It is reflected in your 1/4 mile time so don't get too hung up on the dyno numbers.

Your tune shows over 13:1 on the dyno which likely puts you close to 14:1 on the street. Aren't you nervous about running that lean? Personally, I would rather a little lower peak HP and a more conservative tune.
