I have my mods in my sig and recently only dynoed at 416/372 so I know how you feel. I am hoping it was because of some exhaust leaks I found and a vac line that had popped of my throttle body, but I feel that my car has always dynoed low. This was on a dynojet at 1.01 sae. I am hoping that bigger cams and a intercooler will help. Mabey adjusting my cam gears who knows....

Its not as bad as the crappy 91 the guys in cali are left to deal with but running 92 leaves some power on the table in comparison to 93. Remember higher octane means its less prone to detonation which means you can run more timing boost etc. resulting in more power.

Just remember that if you end up on a different dyno that you won't be able to compare to MKC's, even if it's another Dynojet. Make sure you do base line runs before you change anything.

When is peak power?

Did you source 25 psi from a boost gauge or the dyno?

Peak power looks to be at 3500-3600 rpms and there was a boost guage on it as well as chad saying it was doing that much boost due to what load cells the car was hitting

^^ There's something extremely wrong. Peak torque maybe, but power? The max power should be way higher, above 6000.
