Well I got the car dynoed. The car is 2002 MN6 w/ Halltech SSM Intake, 160 thermostat, Borla Stinger cat-back, and Diablo Predator Programmer. First run the car was pretty cold and in third gear got 320 horse and 322 torque, the last two runs were in fourth gear and coming up to operating temps with the 2nd run doing 333.32 horse and 345.32 and then the 3rd run 334.99 horse and 353.50. Let me know what you all think and if the car is in top shape. The best was 334.99 horsepower and 353.50 torque.

Get your $$ worth. Go back and have them give you the graphs(info) with the correction as SAE and the smoothing on 5.
Any ?s, call Dynojet and they will tell you that is how you do
Then you will have the right #s.
Also, there should be no breaks in the graph or spikes. A complete redo is really in order. Dont let em tell you different.
Any other ?s, feel free to call me direct (Im actually a nice guy)
Newb question here. The "smoothing", does that refer to the spikiness in the graph? Could a smoother line mean a slightly less peak power (by like 1-2hp?) because of less bumps in the graph?

Yup,
Smoothing will do just that, it will smooth the graph line out and help get rid of all the spikes,, etc...
This particular graph has an area where it spiked up pretty good (as far as I can see- graph is showing a little faintly on my screen) and it also has breaks in it, not real bad ones, but breaks none the less- usually caused by RF or other pia things.
SAE correction, and smoothing at 5, will lower the numbers, but they will be more realistic and a true indicator of where you're at. Many on this board seem to quote numbers that are not standardized and smoothed. Tuners know this, and it is unfortunate that all don't do it. Of course, it makes them look better. It is the reason most dyno numbers don't mean anything to me unless this is stated on the graph.
