Default Dyno Shock

Ok let me preface by saying I am skeptical here. Then let me say that I think most chassis dyno's are fake numbers. With that out of the way. I just finished a H/C set up this past week. We installed on a 2003 Z06:
TSP torquer V.2 cam with a 114 LSA
Custom Ported/Polished/Valve Job Matched to cam specs LS6 heads
Patriot Dual Springs
Hardened 7.4 inch pushrods
LS7 lifters and and LS2 trays with drilled hole for oil drainage
Powerbond 25% underdrive pulley
1 3/4 Kooks headers and hi-flo cats
Vararam
30 lb SVO Injectors that flow 36 lbs on the LSX motors
Ported and Shimmed LS6 oil pump

Ok so we installed all of this and took it to the dyno to get tuned. Just before me a Camaro with an LS1 with a head and cam set up went before me and made around 415 rwhp and 390 ft lbs of torque.
Then I went and my car read 490 rwhp and 416 rwtq SAE corrected. We were shocked and so was the dyno guy. He said that this dyno ran 20 to 25 rwhp high, but still that number was amazing. I will post up the graphs soon. I also have an 2006 C6Z and the C5 feels real close in power, so I am wondering if this could be correct? I will post dyno graphs later.
