People pay way too much attention to the numbers itself.
Your gains past 4500 RPM's are nice for just a tune. Though I'm surprised you didn't gain more in the low-end and mid-end.

The numbers are a measurable representation of what your are trying to achieve. IMO it's better to evaluate the results of a mod by getting a dyno that by what you "feel". That very common sentence in this forum telling "... I felt more power after installing..." is actually telling you nothing at all.
I'm going to give it a go to the exhaust and see where it put me up

Dynos will yield different outputs depending on their calibration and type. Which is why I could care less if my dyno reads 205 vs 250, as long as that's the norm for VQ35's on that same exact dyno.
A dyno is for tuning purposes. Which means you're looking at delta [change].
That is why its so important that anyone dynoing their vehicle sticks to the same dyno for accurate measurements in change.
My 280 whp at one particular dyno read 252 at another one with the same mods/conditions. But since I had stuck with shop from my baseline dyno, I have a good idea of how my mods affected my powerband (see my final numbers thread if you wish
).I stated "people pay way too much attention to numbers itself" because 227 whp could be what an average VQ35 with your mods would yield on that particular number. Meaning, it's no different than it yielding 250+ at another one.

You're not understand what im trying to say.

Comparing numbers from different dynos (even if they are the same type) can vary significantly depending on calibration.
Thats all the point he was making. The 230 you have may be a good number on that dyno. The only thing worth measuring your numbers against are #'s on that SAME DYNO.

People who borrow $50,000+ to install a cheap dyno must create a marketing plan to make sure they have enough paying customers to pay the bank note.
Trying to gross $2,000 per month just for dyno requires one to be creative and bring customers back and back and back.
What's a little cheating anyway since the users are just publishing on INET.
Watch out for secret switches and foot pedals..............they can give you any amount you want.
