ALL dynos read different, some are a lot lower, and some are a lot higher.

In other words, find a dyno that makes u feel better

Thank for all of the replies. To answer some questions:
1) I bought the car new in 2005
2) This is the only dyno I have used today
3) The dyno may run low since a 2008 Shelby GT 500 with a pulley kit dynoed at 400 rwhp.
4) I plan on buying a plenum spacer, upgrading spark plugs, getting a pulley kit, and perhaps a UTEC and definitely a tune. Mind you, these numbers came with just the bolt ons, NO TUNE.
Please keep the suggestions coming!

yeah, as a few others have said - a dyno is really just to show the gains/losses a particular mod produces on your car. If this was your only run, and you don't have a baseline run, then it's not very useful. Dynos are all different, can show drastically different numbers based on humidity, temperature, altitude, if there's a fan or breeze or not, planetary alignment, and a variety of other factors. Don't get hung up on the number itself, but instead on the effect a particular mod has when compared to the baseline #'s (or previous #'s), be it good or bad.

what more are you looking for?
your dyno numbers can't be compared to anything. stepucky said it best.
you need a baseline dyno or at least numbers from other Zs on the same dyno you used.

The car is a 2005 5AT VQ35DE
My engine mods are:
Nismo CAI
HKS Hi Power
Helix Test Pipes
Performance Grounding Kit
Please give me some feedback!
