Very disappointing low dyno numbers please help!!!!!!!

chops

im surprised no one has said this yet...you're in essentially saudi arabia am i right? your temperatures will play a HUGE role. as well as the octane standards. as far as i know, saudia arabia, and most of the world uses a "RON" (research octane number) octane rating. the USA on the other hand uses an "AKI" (anti knock index).

a quick google search turns up our 91 in the USA is equivalent to the posted "95" octane in the rest of the world. which could very well explain your power differences. as well as the low humidity/high heat in that part of the region. but back to the octane ratings, it seems you're essentially putting in what us americans know as "87" into your Z. hence the lowered power ratings.

edit: wikipedia'd it:

Chops couldn't of said it any better, I had in mind the lower gains were due to the lower fuel rating in Bahrain but with regards o the weather it is good this tine of year and that's why I opted to get it dynoed.

On a brighter note I got the car dynoed on a different dyno tonight and got more realistic numbers, this is of course pre tuned numbers, I'm hoping to get around 300 hp tuned, the numbers that I got are as follows 286 hp and 251tq, so I am a bit happier now, I'm hoping for around 300 tuned, do you guys think I van achieve that or am I expecting too much? What do you guys think is a realistic number for me after tune, and instalation of jun cams, dare I say 320hp ?
