You can't compare dynos. The number one person gets compared to another from a different dyno, location, etc. is completely non comparable. You can only compare on the EXACT same dyno. A dyno is a tool used to display horsepower and to see changes from a calibration adjustment, only for before and after.I am no dyno expert or anything, but I do wonder why mine made more tq than yours, but less HP? Is it just calibration difference or ? I was always under the impression the HP figure was calculated off the TQ reading. Again, not a dyno expert by any means at all.

My "baseline" was on a Mustang dyno (the shop doing the Lund remote tune uses one), and consisted of everything except the manifold, TB, and cams, and the car put down 400 hp/363 tq. The combo of the cams and manifold made the car lose a LOT of power down low, and gained only slightly up top. I'm trying to figure out where I want to go from here as I'm not too pleased with the car in its current form. The thing that sucks is that it's hard to find good info on cams and cam tunes as very few people actually do them. Perhaps this is why... Hard to know who is even good at tuning cammed cars. I went with Lund because I know they've done some in the past, plus they had done my original tune and I already had the Gauge. I previously had stage 3 cams on, and the torque loss was ridiculous. Compared to my baseline run, the car only gained 11 rwhp and lost significant torque all the way to 6,000 RPM. Figured the stage 1 cams would be better for my setup, which they were, but still not what I had hoped for. I created a thread about the results of the cams here, in case anyone is interested in more info:
