I had my '02 GT (auto) dynoed a while back & came away with 245 hp & 251 tq. I have noticed a lot of other cars with similar hp numbers, but they all have way more torque than mine. What is the deal? A buddy suggested that it may be due to a lack of back pressure since my exhast is pretty wide open(no cats, o/r x-pipe, & flows). What do you guys think?

1) You're running an auto. HP and torque number will suffer slightly to the tune of about 5%.

2) Lower (numerical) gears like 4.10's will show slightly less horsepower and torque on the dyno when compared to stock 2.73-3.27's.

3) God hates anyone running Flowmaster mufflers on a 4.6L car and punishes them accordingly.

I dont know why, but my car dynoed 215rwhp/260rwtq when stock. With your mods (exhaust) u should be more than 251.

on a dyno that isnt calibrated right, numbers are affected. torque seems to be more affected by it
thats my guess
