Default Modifications worries

I just dynoed today. 232 peak hp and 236 tq power.
Air/Fuel 13.16
Temperature 79.90 F
Humidity 17%

hmm...i have an automatic, should the drivetrain loss be that bad? The mods i have have are listed below. I am rethinking about modifiying my car. What to do? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I’d prefer you scan and post the chart but:

1. Temperature and humidity don't matter. Most likely, the numbers are SAE corrected.
2. Peak torque is greater than peak hp. Not impossible but unusual.
3. Is the air:fuel ratio a perfect 13.16:1 all the way to redline?

Again its difficult to guess without seeing the chart. I’d like to see where (RPM) is torque peak.

interesting....the drivetrain loss shouldn't be that terrible....i mean my car made about 243whp with a few mods (IE. 2 mods) (no exhaust modifications) but the humidity and temp may cause and affect on the dyno, but from what u say it was pretty low....just curious where you dynoed?
