low dyno
I just had my 8 dyno'd and it seems low; am I correct in thinking this. Mods: unorthodox pulleys, nology hot wires, agency exhaust, k&n v. 2 intake. Only 152 horsepower and 122 torque on a dynojet.

Do you have the chart?
Know what other cars were running on that dyno?
A single dyno can't really be used for comparison between other cars run on other dynos.
Just wondering though, coils new?

Yeah the dealership has done all the work on my car, I explained to service manager that I dyno'd it and it was low. He said "so you were on the freeway and you felt a loss of power, correct? " so I'm dropping it off today. Hopefully new engine.

My car had a similar dyno pull and turned out to have a leaking SSV vacuum actuator.
You can check the GTA Dyno day in the Canada forum starting page 10 of the thread.
I posted the dyno chart, AP logs etc.

And unless you see the CEL flashing at high RPM you do not NEED plugs, wires, coils.
Get your hands on a vacuum tester and check for vacuum leaks on the actuators.
