Attached is the dyno graph from my most recent dyno on a mustang dyno. As you can see I'm only putting down 496
hp. Dissapointing numbers for a Paxton Gen 3. The car just had a tune up. And everything works fine. Any ideas on what the cause could be for the low output?

Dynos are very ineffective for gauging REAL HP. They're only true design was as a tuning aid. Sooo many factors can change your readings;

Temp, Humidity, Elevation, Vehicle temp, Type of dyno, what mode the tuner had the dyno in (SAE, Standard, Corrected), and Smoothing are a handful of factors. I wouldn't read much into it. FWIW I had a bike that should have made 170whp and when I had it dynod it only put down 155 so I asked the tuner why that was, he fiddled with the settings and smoothing, made another run and it put down 167.
