I gained about 12hp and 15 torque. I mainly had it installed because 1. I was a beta tester for the Technosquare reflash and had made some changes to my car without reflashing. This caused me to run a little lean and caused some minor pinging up top (5500+ rpm). 2. I'm looking to go TT in the near future and wanted the UTEC as my EMU.

Yes Z Car Garage has a dyno.

Mod list? Those are pretty decent numbers for tuning.

255rwhp/240tq. But I don't have any baselines at ZCG. I really need to go dyno at ATP again since they have my stock (baseline) and a few other configs.

Some dynos read low, some read high. No dyno is an absolute but rather a tool for measuring increases. Which is why I need to get to ATP and dyno again, so I can compare my stock (baseline) and measure the gains.
When my car was stock I dyno'd 230rwhp at Dynospot. I drove to SoCal the next day for a Stillen event and pulled 252rwhp on their dyno.
IMO a single dyno number means squat since each dyno will spit out different numbers on the exact same car. You need at least two points to truly measure gains.

With a pop-charger I dynoed 233 at Dynospot-and 278 with mods in sig- that dyno is notorious for giving lower numbers. I feel that if I went to dyno at ATP, they would be around ~10 whp higher-FWIW.

Dynojets in generally put out smaller numbers in my personal experience. Not a bad thing, just something I've noticed. I'm eager to see if my car opens up a bit more with cams. I really need a new LSD but I think I'm going to do the cams next
