Default 2012 Scion tC Dyno Results

First time my tC in a Dyno confused about the results based on what I seen on here about stock baseline runs.

My tC is automatic I know there is more of a drivetrain loss than a manual one. My tC has about 130k miles on it.

These are the mods on my car:

TRD Cold Air Intake.
TRD Strut Brace.
Dezod Green Header.
NST light weight Crank Pulley.
Unichip.
Front and rear Sway Bars, Eibach.
TRD Exhaust.
TRD Lowering Springs.
TRD Big Brake Kit
Five Ad S7 19" wheels.

So with all the important information, does it seem the Dyno was accurate or somehow I'm making less? I was on the 87 Octane tune on the Unichip.

Did you do a Baseline Dyno Test BEFORE you Added all the Performance mods?

never did I just added those parts..I'm sure I would have seen some sort of result if i did a stock base run and then with upgrades. This dyno happened to be a part of a pepboys speed shop grand re opening so I jump on it and did it

It sounds about right, saying in-line with this guys ATX results on his 2011:

Scion tC Dyno Test: AEM CAI and Dezod Motorsports Header | Speed Academy

Numbers vary greatly between different dyno's and weather conditions. Not to mention the ATX robs a lot of power in itself, but as long as the car feels good to you, I wouldn't get too hung up on peak numbers. If you need more power, there's always boost.

Might be able to squeak a few more ponies by with a custom tune for the unichip instead of an off-the-shelf one, but the gains might not be worth the $ in dyno time.

that can be done. But not worth the dyno time. I am looking into a dezod complete turbo kit. Then dyno would be worth the money.

Sell the Unichip and pick up either a handheld tuner or software from Orange Virus Tuning.
They will make the most out of your breathing mods and advance the timing for more power output with the use of 91-93 octane.
I believe it also tunes the shifting points on automatic transmissions.
Check them out.
