BR tuned, Evo9 Stock turbo...low numbers?

I just got my car tuned Monday at Buschur Racing, let me start by saying I had a very good experience, got there pretty early (40mins before my appt) as I didn't know if I was going to get lost driving up there ~ 2hrs 20mins away.... but they didn't waste any time, slapped my car on the dyno almost immediately and got to work.

I didn't know David doesn't tune with electronic boost controllers, must of missed that or overlooked it I don't know, but either way David said its not a problem and slapped on a BR unit (real nice small controller) real quick and went on with business.

Overall the power is really smooth but with my mods and boost level I was expecting more... maybe my motor is just weak I don't know. I basically went 100% stock to this setup below @56k miles.

Before going to get tuned I made sure to change my oil and filter, new OEM spark plugs, and solid boost leak test.... in fact I found my BOV clamp and TB shaft seals were leaking and fixed those and got a solid leak free system

Base: ~210hp @19-20psi
Overall numbers 308hp/307tq @28psi A/F ~11.4-11.5 across, 93 Oct
(I really hate when ppl don't actually write their numbers and expect you to read it off this POS graph they took a picture with their phone ...pet peeeev)

I haven't logged it yet, but by watching my boost gauge seems like my boost tapers off to 20psi at redline.
I was kinda of expecting 330whp... no less than 320 honestly, not sure what went wrong

This isn't a bash Buschur racing thread so GTFO if you're gunna start that ****, the man knows what he's doing.

I was trying to find others who have dyno'd on their MD dyno, and yes I am not a newb and very much aware of low reading MD dyno's... but didn't find a lot of graphs with stock turbo's on EvoM.

What do you guys think?

I think that you need to:

1)Realize that Buschur's Mustang Dyno reads lower than most others out there

and

2)Contact David if you have any questions about your tune. I'm sure he would be glad to address any legit concerns that you might have.

oops didn't post it...93oct...
I'm not so concerned, rather curious what others may have put down on the same dyno on stock turbos.

Take it to the track and see what it runs. Don't get caught up in the numbers, the track will tell the hp. For Buschurs dyno, I would say it is about right.

if you assume that dyno reads about 13% lower then you'd be around 348, which is pretty good

Solid numbers to me for the minimal mods you have.

I put down 384hp on 93oct at 29 psi and 404hp on 100 oct with similar mods on a Dynojet which reads higher,tuning myself,my guess is that it's a conservative (safe) tune,definitively Dave knows what he's doing.

Could be as simple as a bad batch of 93. I agree that you should be around 320whp or so, however, you really won't notice 12hp from your butt dyno, so stop chasing numbers and take it to the track!!

308x13%= 348 dynojet numbers. Your fine! No need to worry, car will probably trap 112-114. Seems on par for bolt ons on 93 with stock cams.

but my butt dyno is very sensitive

Thanks for the responses.... I'm not complaining in the sense, just looking for other opinions and actually some other vehicles laying down numbers on their dyno for comparison. I don't want to come off like I am looking for my slightly modded evo dyno queen, just a general understanding of my results.

Seems about right to me as well. Car gained 100hp over base line pretty damn good

That's what I was gonna say. Just take it to the track. Number are not always everything. The numbers at the track are.
