[QUOTE="Butcher98, post: 13448802, member: 154132"] First of all, a dyno is a tuning tool. Nothing more, nothing less. Some dynos can be more generous than others, so I take all dyno numbers with a grain of salt. Secondly, you are aware that dyno numbers are "corrected", aren't you? That means your car made almost 370 rwhp at sea level. You would be lucky if your car made 350 rwhp at 3300 feet. And lastly, when you use sticky tires, you usually trade a gain in ET for a loss in mph. That's because the extra traction you get early in the run turns into extra drag at the top end. I've been around these cars since they hit the showroom floors. I'm not saying your car couldn't run those numbers. I'm saying it is highly unlikely that it could run those numbers in the condition you stated. I'm curious, was it cloudy or sunny on the day you made that pass? Did you buy your car new or used?
