The problem is not with the bolt-ons that you've installed. I would consider other factors. As mentioned, the tune or dyno could be at fault. But unless you did a base run, you don't know if your car was already suffering from this problem before the headers and tune.

Even a chance to see how it compares to another local car that is similar mods or stock?
Our local Dyno is a dynocom that is about 7% lower than the dynojets in the area.

How's the car feel? After I did Kooks 1 7/8" LT's, OR X, CAI and tune…first on-ramp I mashed it on, it blew off the tires and gave me a holy sh*t second. Super noticeable difference the way it pulled through the gears. My 04's numbers..
363rwhp/355rwtq Bone stock
394rwhp/377rwtq Bolt ons
Same dyno(Dynojet). Under the curve numbers matched or bettered the peak numbers for most of the power band.

Long-tube headers won't bolt up to the stock cats and H-pipe, so they usually come with their own X-pipe, in either catted or non-catted form. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone with LT headers mated to the stock H-pipe, since it would not be a bolt-on affair.

Don't overlook the FAST, good for 13whp on a stock LS6.

Search my thread for my dyno numbers.
I think a little has to do with how many miles are on your engine. I have Vararam, Kooks 1 7/8s headers, Kooks 3" catless X, and B&B Bullet exhaust. Made 415 to the wheels and correction factor was almost 0 that day. 407tq I think. 2004 z06 with 16.5k miles

Don't get all worried about dyno numbers. They all read differently. **** I've seen them read differently on the same car without any changes other than rolling it off, and then back on the machine later on.
It's a tool to measure gains. Nothing more. There's way too many variables to consider any reading truly accurate and the machines themselves aren't even 100% accurate.
Get a stock baseline, add mods, measure difference. If you want numbers that really count, take it to the track and get some timeslips.
