Question auto dyno result

so i had the car dyno'd at speed inc in schaumburg saturday morning. 55 degrees out. auto - gm stage kit. on the street, when i floor it, it will hit 20 - 22 lbs of boost. on the dyno, it only hit 15. what gives.
when i drove it home, i got off the expressway, on when i exited the off ramp, i nailed it & it hit 20lbs. it only dyno'd 205hp at the wheel.

Mustangs and Dyno Dynamics read much closer to what you calculate at the track based on trap speeds and vehicle weight.

A Dynojet does not load the drivetrain the same way as the car would see in the real world. Less load, less exhaust pressure driving the turbine. In any event, boost is the measure of air that didn't make it into the engine and is highly overrated as a yardstick of performance. I wish these cars didn't have the stupid "bewst" gauge.
