Do I Have A Problem? Dyno Chart included


A week ago, I put the car on the dyno. Even tho the car ( 04 MT w/ 20K miles on the engine) feels OK, this is just not looking right. The only problem at the time was a burned open cat, which should have made HP.
There is some speculation that there was a problem with the dyno it self. None of the cars, dynoed the day, made expected power.

Was this an RX8? Or as Jedi mentioned an RX7?
I would say dyno was not working correctly if that was a manual RX8.
