That ARC intake is killing you. Those are known for robbing power while proving JDM bling at the same time. Switch back to your stock airbox or a CAI your numbers will be back up to par.

Also, a number of other variables can skew your numbers on a dyno.

This may include:
tire pressure
tire size
wheel size
x-factor
temperature
humidity
elevation
type of dyno (dynapak, dynojet, mustang, etc.)

With that said, no two dyno's are identical. As long as your power curves resemble other cars with the same modifications, I wouldn't worry about anything.

The ARC airbox does not help for sure,but to me,it's only a matter of Dyno.
Some read low,some read high.
If you want BIG numbers,go to Church automotive.
