Your numbers are strong regardless; it's really just a curiosity thing. You can play a lot of games with dynos, but for the most part it doesn't really matter -- most of us can't begin to tap the HP we have in our cars. What you might want to do though is put your car on a chassis dyno and measure the numbers at the rear wheels. You will be shocked at what your mufflers (side pipes) and drivetrain sap out of the numbers you have now.
