Default Dyno Hp may be low

I had my 1999 c5 corvette dynoed and my best was 353.61/347.63
My car has.
1. Comp Cam XR265hr high lift
2.Z06 intake (no porting)
3.Z06 28 injectors
4.comp cam push rods
5.z06 filter housing with wide opening(stock)
6.ls2 cam chain
7. sx power Lt headers,cats,X-pipe and z06 mufflers
8.z06 heads ( completely stock except comp cam 915 springs)
9.LS7 lifters
10. 3:15 gear
11. A4 automatic (stock) and stock converter.
12 stock ls1 MAF
Is that about all this combination will achieve. I am adding copy of my
dyno sheet. Thanks in advance for any oppinions or suggestions.

Seems a bit low to me, those injectors may be a bit small....and the bone stock LS6 heads may need some port work. Having an automatic is also going to take some additional power before it hits the rollers.

I have a Texas Speed 228R cam and needed 36lb injectors, the 28s were at over 95% duty cycle pretty quick.

Thats cam is about the same size as a ls6 cam. So you should expect similar numbers as a zo6 with exhaust and a tune, but you have an automatic transmission and it won't dyno as good.

You basically built an LS6 with an auto attached and long tubes. So yeah, I would say that's pretty much on the money...

that dyno from monster clutch looks ideal for a daily driver. torque is everywhere and the power comes on really smooth.

You should have told the operator what you wanted before starting....

I agree with the others. Those numbers are good for an auto with a small cam and unported heads/intake.
