I am one that supports facts, I can understand that Gm can build one within 3-5hp + or -, but 20hp+ with the standard parts identical? Only way I can see this to be true, is that it was either tuned by factory (doubt it) or was tuned by another source prior to the dyno run, hence the 20+hp increase. I am sure the tuner was legit on it's dyno run. We might very well have an anomoly here, but still far fetched..
I tend to agree and supposedly the car was not tuned by anyone prior to them bringing it to Straightline but I am not sure. Maybe the OP can verify this.

how many times do i have to say when i found out they did the car it wasnt a lie. but definitly somthing isnt right. i have mods kooks lt x pipe highflow cats vararam and spacer CARTEK tune 376.3 max power 374.7 max torque on a dyno jet and dzens of 11.6s to back it up. of course they have no reason to lie they didnt tune it. that still doesnt mean its RIGHT somthing is not right and they dont care to find out everyone is happy. so now im happy too
Honestly, I could care less whether the OP's car has more HP than it should, although I am happy for him. I just did not think it was fair for anyone to give Straightline a hard time when all they were asked to do was to dyno and tune the car. It's all good, let's hug it out and go home happy.

My 2006 M6 with Vararam and Callaway axle back made 325 rwhp right on the nose, on a mustang dyno. I feel my car is either a total slug, which its not backed up at the track by a 12.1 on street tires, or dyno numbers mean nothing more then that numbers. To me my car is extremely low compared to almost all cars posted here.

472RWHP 444RWTQ...........Corsa exhaust only mod.
The GT on the other hand is over 700RWHP & takes a lot of finess to get rolling good without going up in smoke. I truly believe my Z06 would take the GT in 1/8 mile because of this.
