I'd first double-check how it is hooked up. Occasionally when I hook up my electronic instruments, the numbers look way off. This happens more often than I'd like to admit, but hey.

Also check to be sure that any exposed metal clamping device pieces aren't contacting something they are not supposed to touch. The clamps should not move when the engine is revved up.
