I missed this post.. So what where your (SAE) dyno numbers and what's your limiter raised to?
5th is our closest 1 to 1 but most dyno operators will dyno you in 4th and adjust for it. Top speed in 5 is 160ish which is really spinning the dyno unnecessarily fast.
My recent dyno pull was in 5th because it was late and we were all in a hurry to get out of there. With my raised rev limiter I spun the dyno to 162 which is not necessary. 4th would be just a good to get a smooth pull.

just the cat bypass pipes. I have had them on since the beginning of spring. No spacers on the 2ndary O2 sensor and the only CEL I have thrown for the cat was the night after my dyno pulls as I was pulling into my street nearly 3 months after they were installed.
It causes me no grief that once in a blue moon I have to read the code and clear the CEL light with a basic code scanner.

These numbers are depressing considering that's a "normal" 3.6 when comparing to what my 3.4 made at the wheels. (246 I think) More and more non-X51 3.6 cars making 300whp these days which I think is an outstanding number.

SOOOOOO - whats the fastest you have had your 996 to ?
that chart says 180+ (saw that and thought......yea OK)
I posted a 154 on the speedo once - I have no desire to do it again, but I like 100 A LOT !

I just performed a test on my way home and I couldn't get 128 mpg in any gear. With a light throttle the best I could get was in the 30's in 6th gear....
