I finally threw my car on the dyno today... I had been looking forward to it all week. Well, after much waiting my dynoday finally came. Unfortunately I was very disappointed with the results. Car is a 94 Camaro M6 with mods in sig.

Here's what I ended up with: went from 3000rpm to 5600rpm (normally would spin to 6300 but they didn't ask)
...............Min:......Max:......Avg:
Total HP....170.......295.......253
AFR..........11.9......13.1......12.4
Torque......275.......314.......302

You're running way too rich, get that fixed. I would have expected better numbers, too.

Dont get too hung up on dyno numbers. Get it tuned right and take it to the track. Your MPH will show how much power you are truly making.

I did not see "TUNE" in your sig,that will play a huge roll in your numbers although you did say 6300 is what you shift at!

There is a tune on the car, but it is not exactly right. The tune is one that I got from someone online who had the same mods as I do. I plan on getting a dynotune tailored for my car this winter, after I finish my winter mods. Also I think what could be a part of it is that the heads and intake were never port matched, Which is one of the things I plan on doing this winter.

I agree with above... don't fret over dyno numbers, just look at the times.

Heck, I have a 200hp LT1 that runs much better than 200hp ;) I do really want to get another dyno run done just out of curiousity though.

Sorry to hear bro. I'm sure its a combination of multiple things like possibly a failing fuel pump and also in the (lack of) tune.

Agreed..

My car is only making 244/290, and I was trapping 101.. :doh:

You're running fat and on a Mustang dyno. Numbers are going to be falsely low. You're probably in the 340ish range with a good tune and on a dynojet.
