That's not that bad. In fact that's around the average mark. It always depends on tune type and of course all dynos read high or low.

iv heard alot of bad stuff about byt so maybe they was more power left in the tune that u could still access for a retune but if u about to go with a new turbo I dont see a point. Also as it was said any dyno can be low or high.

Either the tune stinks or you have a low reading dyno. After the zfr with a good tune @ 24psi +, you should be into the 400's with 93 gas, if not, then you will know its the dyno reading low.

Sounds right to me, if it's a 21 psi tune.

It could be a low dyno. Are you happy with the power level despite what you think are low numbers? IMHO those are pretty damn good numbers for a limited amount of boltons as long as the power is safe! And the ZFR is not a bolt on 400 WHP turbo without meth or E47/85 as if it was there would be plenty of pump gas only ZFR dynos showing that but they just dont exist!

Indeed, dyno numbers are really only relative unless you are comparing on the same dyno. Most of them are different.

Dynos don't mean jack squat to me -- take it to the strip and you'll know if it runs right or not.

don't get hung up on numbers. they're only good for two things, baselines and bragging rights.

True. But still those numbers with that turbo? I'd be livid if i spent that money and got those results. I have more then that and I'm stock ko4.. Something does not sound right.... In fact most tuned lnf's are over 300 with minor bolt ons..

You have also blown a turbo...Your Dyno could read high as well.


To the OP - Don't get hung up on Dyno numbers, if you want I have a friend that can make your car read 800whp on a Dyno. You should run friends that are around the same power range. Like others said ZFR = Sex. Keep traction you won't win a race spinning.

My 22 psi trifecta tune, charge pipes, inter cooler, k&n intake, forge bpv, catless down pipe, full exhaust only netted 305whp 325wtq wasn't impressed. Currently working on HP tune, I can feel the power difference no changes but the tune I'm going to dyno again soon

300+ is a great baseline on the k04... Some of you LNF's have such high expectations lol
