Put my 5AT sedan on the dyno...weak sauce!
I more or less expected the results...probably because I find my car to be slower than normal.
I put down 206whp with 203wtrq STD on a dynojet ( Was 204 and 202 SAE but the operator printed it out in STD ). My mods are listed below. I ran a 15.0@92mph like this. I guess the 90K miles my car has didn't do well...or am I asking too much for a near stock car?

forget about the dyno numbers. dyno's are a tool for tuning and testing mod increases. diff dynos read diff numbers depending on calibration, model, brand, etc.
the number i'd be more concerned with in your case is the 1/4 mile number. do an air density correction to see what your car would run in std conditions at sea level because 14.9 is way slow. did you do multiple runs, and if so was this your best? was there launch issues such as wheelspin, axle tramp...you did turn off VDC right? that's very important for 1/4 runs.

I used a correction calculator and got a 14.7@93mph with it.

I've been looking around and it seems that 206whp is rather normal I guess. What isn't normal is my track time. Yet there is nothing I can do about making it better since traction isn't the problem and auto trannies aren't rocket science to operate..lol.
Oh, and for the person who asked....it's on 93oct.

Mines rated at 260 not 280. Some people say they are the same as the coupe yet the coupe has a MUCH louder exhaust ( mine is so quiet it's hard to even tell it's on sometimes ) so I don't see how they could be identical. Even the 05-06's have louder exhausts as well ( which also happens to be when their ratings went to 280 instead of 260 ).

coupe being 'louder' has nothing to do with them making more power. In fact, us sedans are lighter than the coupes and theoretically are a tad faster in the 1/4. I've seen dyno numbers posted anywhere from 210RWHP-230RWHP stock. Dyno numbers depend on alot of factors just like track times. IIRC, the 280HP bump in 05 was becuase of new SAE horsepower regulations.
Density altitude plays a huge part in ET times. You are trapping very low, should be 96-97 MPH with a 2.1-2.2 60' time. What were your 60's?
