Why is my torque low

I just had Al road tune my car on saturday and it pulls great. these are my mods megan exhaust manifold, 10.5 hotside, megan o2 housing, Full megan exhaust with hi flow cat, buschur intake, walburo fuel pump, and boost controler set at 22 psi. After the tuneing i went straight to the dyno i have always used and i put down 336 whp and 310 ft lbs. Is this normal torque for the hp? Is there a part that i have that could be be reason why the torque is low? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

that doesn't sound to far off. How hot was it? The turbo is gonna spool a lot slower in really hot weather, and your torque will suffer more than hp will.

That is what moves the power up higher in the RPM range. Your TQ comes on later, which is why your HP number is higher than your TQ number.

Power in higher RPM range = Higher HP than TQ
Power lower in the RPMs = Higher TQ than HP

Not bad #'s for an 03 at all
