Dyno'd at 208HP... Is something wrong with my car?
So I dyno'd my car today using Dyno Dynamic... First pull, it was 208.7HP, second pull was 208.1HP. The only engine mod I have are HKS exhaust and ztube/popcharger. Other than that, I have 20" Sevas, 10" sub/amp, 40lb dumbbell, and atleast 25lb of misc items in my trunk.. Another thing I noticed is that when my car was on the dyno, my rear rims seem unbalanced and doesn't really grip on the dyno..
They told me the dyno dynamic is made for tuning so the numbers are lower.
I've seen stock G's pulling 230ish, but how can mine be so low considering I have intake and exhaust??
I'm planning to put my 17" rims back on and go back to see what the numbers will be..
I am disappointed at the numbers but could this number be true??

I think the Dyno Dynamics is coined "the heartbreaker" Don't expect high numbers at all. If the wheels were indeed slipping that will hurt your numbers. Did they not tie your car down tight enough?
That is really low. My 05 sedan AT dynoed 217whp stock with just a pop charger.
Added an exhaust and i made it to 227whp.

208 on a DD is about 220 on a DJ. well within normal, albeit low normal.
Dynos are just tuning tools to gauge changes.
I wouldnt challenge anything other than a geo to a street race though

yes i'm guessing around 220-225 on dynojet but i have intake and an exhaust.. that should atleast give me 5-10hp which still seem low... i didn't want to dyno my car but they were curious to see how much HP i'm putting out.. disappointed me so much.. makes me want to go FI now.. sighh
I'm used to seeing about the same out of a stock revup on my friend's Mustang dyno btw... everybody says this dyno reads lower than most other Mustangs though.
But even Dynojets and Dynapacks can be fully calibrated to read about as low too...
