first of all, calm down with the caps lock haha. but like you said, those are just hp numbers. Every dyno is going to read differently and there are other variables to take into account. If you are happy with what it's putting down at the track, imo that's all that matters. Dyno's are a tool for tuning. And to simply say it made 744@36psi is really vague. No graphs, or setup specs to go along with it, no ones going to be able to help you there.

744@36lbs. youre about right. You think you should be making mid 800s with only that much boost? The guys making 850+ are in the 40-45lbs range man.

Youre ok at where youre at. get on some 1/8 mile tracks first and see how it does on the top end with a full 1/4 mile pass.

Dont stress over dyno numbers. I did for a little bc my car only made 480 on 32lbs and spun and I new that couldnt be right. Then I went to the track and ran 10.13@147 lol. Just run the car and see what it does.

6.50 @120-121 in the 1/8 is good for 9.7-9.80's @ 150-160mph depending on how clean the passes are.
