Bad day at the dyno

So a local shop was having a dyno day, I figured i would dyno my car $35 for 3 pulls not bad eh? Well it was bad, because it must have been the most inaccurate dyno i have ever seen in my life. They thing was so effed up that for some reason it couldent read my tq numbers. They tried to do the usual 4th gear pull but the dyamoter read speed range exceeded or some bs. took them 3 pulls just to get it right so i ended up getting 5 pulls fron 3rd gear

my best reading was 225.9 whp how shitty is that with all my mods?

Edit: i will have videos later in the day and i will scan the printout right now

I just looked at the printout again and the dyno was done by speed not engine rpm's does that make a difference?

I mean they did not hook up anything to my car, i have gotten my old car dynoed before and i remember them hooking up something to it under the hood. this time they didnt
