It seems a little low. Then I noticed the Temp and humidity. Try at a time when it is a little cooler and you should see better numbers.
My stock C6 with 6 speed did 340hp and 340 torque. Conditions 59 degrees F and 42% humidity.

The numbers seem good and I really doubt the exhaust work is giving you much at this point.
6 speed manual versus the Auto. I think the numbers are in line for the auto and what has been posted before.

340 rwhp would be disappointing to me considering its supposed to have 400 hp. 340 is like 394 give or take a pony. I'm going to take my 6 spd soon to see what it does.ONly mod is a bullet exhaust.It would be nice to see 350rwhp plus. The car does seem to get stronger with more miles.Mine only has 2100 right now.It would be nice to get a car that is over rated on hp instead of under.Look at the 03 cobras which supposedly have 395 hp stock but ive seen many that really have 420s hp stock.Overall I'm very happy with my new vette.Funny how we complain about little stupid things.This car is completely different from my 2000 vert auto with 315s.The handling is FAR superior and the car is DECEPTIVELY fast. I'm still looking for my first race.Time to maybe head to moroso wednesday.

11,000 miles Z51 MN6, K & N's and GM performance Exhaust. Amazingly low numbers but still did a rolling 20 to 70 against an 03 and 04 Z06 with C6 on top by a car length. The operator told me that it has been running low by 3 %.

dynos are only good for ballpark numbers...if you had the money to spend, you could do a real statistical analysis and do, say, 100 pulls and analyze the data for a "more" realistic approximation of your "average" performance. one or two pulls, while fun to do and watch, really isnt going to tell you dick about your exact performance.
i go by the butt dyno...its the only one that matters.

Don't get too hung up on dyno numbers, they can change form day to day based on a variety of things, weather, humidity, the dyno tech etc. How can you explain how certain intake and exhaust items that were dyno'd at 18 rwhp by the manufacture and show almost no gains when redyno'd after installation. Does that mean dyno numbers are inaccurate or unreliable? One or two or three pulls will give a general idea on hp and tq but certainly not exact science. Lastly, the driver has a great deal to do about performance in 0 to 60 and quarter mile performance. Don't lose any sleep over your dyno numbers.
