looks OK for this type of dyno - I was around 170 when stock (with K&N also ). The Aussie guys seem to be around that mark also .
Higher number is post tuning with piggyback ECU.

I was actually the highest RX-8 that was there. the closest to me was 156. there was also 151 and 153.

It's a good baseline though. The only other mods I'm planning are an exhaust and possibly a CAI.

Was it a hot day ? That could account for the difference along with calibration differences.

One of the local shops has a Dyno Dynamics here.

They started in the land down under.

Anyone in Australia have any input on that brand dyno?

Dyno Dynamics is the most common brand down here - we always get lower numbers on them than what we see for the dyno jet . I remember seeing dyno day results for RX8s on the Aussie site all being around the 160 hp mark .
