Dyno numbers seem low, let me know what you think.

Dyno numbers seem low, let me know what you think.
I just bought this car from forum member 35Z in the classifieds section here. I love the car, it is a blast to drive and very nice!
2005 350Z enthusiast, 58,500 miles, 6MT.
Mods:
HKS True Dual after-cats exhaust
Nismo cold air intake
Motordyne 5/16" manifold spacer
My dyno numbers were 228 rwhp, then 232 rwhp.
The guy I bought it from said that it did nearly 250rwhp last year. It seems to run very strong with no misses or anything, but it seems that I have the same numbers as a stock car.
Does this seem low to anyone? The dyno was a Dynojet chassis dynamometer model 248c.
I will upload my graph with A/F on it tonight.

i only ran half the nismo intake (after the maf i put a k&n cone filter in) and i have the AAM plenum spacer, test pipes, and stillen true dual and i 255whp and 235wftlbs... i never liked the feel of the full nismo intake seemed a lil sluggish but when you half it, its wayy better IMO

I think I have a pretty good idea of why the numbers were a little low.
First of all, I used the NGK 6A plugs (one step colder) in preparation for running nitrous.
Secondly, I accidentally left the two silencers in the back of my exhaust, which is a large restriction.
Is it reasonable to assume that the combination of these two situations would cost me 10 or more hp?

More like 240 for the non-rev DE's (mine stock was 241 or something close to that (its been 2+ years)). Dyno's can be calibrated in different ways, along with different corrections. First, ditch that nismo cai. It's not helping anything. Silencers also kill power. Go back to a stock 06 box or pop charger and the take the silencers out. Go back to the same dyno and try again.
