Have you driven it yet? Don't get wrapped up in what a number is. Experience the car and enjoy it.

Again, don't get hung up with numbers, they don't mean anything. I've wasted tons of time and money chasing a number on the dyno only to achieve and have the car drive like ***.

You want input? Well, here you go...Do you think that there may be a reason they will not talk to you? Personally if I were a vendor, I would not deal with you. Seriously, I would strongly consider a different approach. You are way too quick to post negative comments. So you went to BF and they took a long time, should this be shocking? They probably have the tune SUPER conservative because they are worried about you blowing it up and then blaming them and posting it all over the internet! No personal offense intended but lets get real.

Yeah, I know. You get all pumped up to see 450-475rwhp (What I was expecting from my 383 LS stroker) and when you don't get it you're disappointed. Then you start thinking that there's something wrong with the motor, or the tune, or the turbo or whatever.

What I'm advising you is a number is just that, nothing else. If the engine runs perfectly and pulls really hard and the car is extremely fast, does it really matter what number it made on the dyno?

I don't think it's so bad really. That's a pretty big turbo even on a 3ltr. Be asking what the spec's are on the cam. Also ask for ign map. Looks like it wants to keep making power although he shut the pull down at 6k. Would have liked to see it go through to 7k. Agree with just drive it and see. Numbers on dynos can vary a great deal. Don't get caught up on comparing it to the 930. Different cars, dynos, weather etc...+ agree with Shawn. Highly likely that it is very conservatively tuned.

yes they took long.. i never bashed them on the internet.. they would talk to me very disrespectfully, very unprofessional .. they kept giving me a date when it would be done that kept getting pushed back over months all lame excuses.. i gave him 75 percent up front cash!!! then he tells me i will not work on your car till you give me more money ? WTF is that **** u want more money bc i owe u a few grand and the car is not even running ? i call leave a message would never get back to me.. then they would bash me all over facebook before i wrote anything on the forms! i can go on and on about it .. so yes i get annoyed when u keep push the date back over 70 days ! you lie and say your working on my car and your not ?? and then you handel things unprofessional calling a customer rude names who spends over 20 grand ? lets be real now ? how do u tell a guy who gives u $18500 upfront that you wont work on his car till you have more money ??

most dyno sheets that get posted for comparison are SAE-corrected, basically using a formula to compensate for ambient atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, etc.

it basically standardizes hp measurement so you can actually compare dyno results.

wherever you did your test maybe was hot or cold or very humid and high altitude or something that isn't "standardized".

the numbers will change based on that...but again, they are just numbers.
