I've had similar problems. dyno says 421 hp. That should be around 500 hp at the engine. Then when I run a 107 mph 1/4 mile trap speed, I'm like wtf?
HP is just a number, as your all aware. Powerband, torque curve, gearing blah blah. My brothers EVO has a good 20hp less and 200lbs more than my Z currently. However, because he gets max torque so early and holds his powerband longer he can hang/pull me depending on the pull
