Something is a little fishy here. 
Your baseline dyno is about 10HP above every other base dyno I've seen. GSC did there base dyno with a alphawerks header and an axel back exhaust and got just about the same as your car. Either your car is VERY special, or that dyno run is a little off. I am not hating but just commenting on some very unique results.
I would deffinately check out that A/F ratio, something is deffinately wrong here. Prob a faulty MAF sensor. Check it out, it should look more like this:
But is the rich mixture is giving you more power, more power to ya!

I've seen several dynos of stock tCs on the forums and they all were around 145whp, not far off from desertheat's at all. The only dynos that I've seen with #s lower than that were from automatics.

and he is making 99% as much power as the MMW header/s-pipe/short ram and cc exhaust car. Agreed it does not look right.

Dyno's are simply not accurate for outright power figures!
I hate how people try to compare different dyno readings, taken on different dynos at different altitudes and temperatures from different cars. It's just stupid!
The dyno is a great tuning tool and rough estimate for power. Arguing over 9-10hp is just ridiculous considering the circumstances.

Ah well, always get the haters haha. Guess we will know how far off the dyno is when I get the sc installed and on the rollers this week.

Wow been a long time sinse i was on hey everyone, alot has changed, perhaps he own a vehicle with different tolerances. A "Fluke" sometimes this happens and the result is a vehicle with slightly elevated power levels-5-10 hp. Or perhaps this is due to a miscalibration or other variable.
