Do people fudge about rwhp?

Guys am I really low on power or do people fudge about how much power they make.

As you can see by my sig I have the follwing:

Full exhaust from the dp back all Pettit and 3 in, with no cat.

Pettit Intake
PFC
Rebuilt turbos
Rebulit motor by Pettit
Pettit SMIC going to Greddy FMIC
No ac stuff, or pump.

Anything I am missing?
Everything is either new or rebuilt. However on the dyno at Check Point Engineering I was only putting out 250 RWHP. So am I really low or do other people fudge about their mods?

I cannot think of anything else to justify the difference.

Of course people fudge a little....I especially like all the talk about how easy it is to run something like an 11.5 1/4 or something like that. But 250 hp is actually pretty damn low for what you have. How much boost do you run...like 8 lbs??? haha.

With your mods, you should be above 300+rwhp with 10+psi. You should tune the PFC. I've seen guys magically get an extra 70rwhp just by getting the PFC tuned.

Boost level

I am assuming Check Point ran it up to the max. At the time it was running 14.7.

Hey, if everyone keeps telling me that my power is low for my mods then I may have to trailer it to California and have Xs tune it for me.

Thanks for all the help guys.

They ran it at 14.7 without adjusting the fuel maps? At that psi, you will definetly get over 300rwhp, but without the proper tuning, you also run the risk of blowing the engine.
