Looks like you're seeing the gains from the headers, all the intake stuff(ported tb,vr,etc...) should show a difference at higher speeds with cool air coming in. Not alot of cool down time between your dyno runs, could be the difference in a few ponies.

3rd pull both hp and torque jumped a little.
Seems that some people are lying about their hp.Claiming over 400hp with less mods. So I had to dyno to be sure. They don`t lie!

You have to remember that the dyno is their for a tool and high dyno numbers don`t mean that you will go faster. If you really want to see what you gained do a before 1/4 pass and a after 1/4 with the same type of weather conditions and then you will know. I only have 356rwhp and 352ftlbs and i had a huge personal gain at the track from stock. Some people that have the 400 mark doesn`t mean that they will go faster than the 370`s

The dyno is only a small part, and most dyno's vary so don't put to much stock in the dyno alone.

Your torque is higher, but my RWHP is more with just CAI, X-pipe, and Cat-Back. I have recently added RT High Flow CATS and I'm getting it tuned in Jan hoping to get more out of her.
But you have some great numbers. You should be happy! Every DYNO is different so if you don't like the results take it some where else. I don't pay attention to the #'s any way. Its all about the driver.

Your showing good numbers as well.
I think I`m going to for a cam,and underdrive pullies. Even a charger( in the near future). I say near future because, I want to invest in better brakes. No sense in having the power w/o being able to slow her down. Would love to see about 500hp.

I would love to have a charger but can't afford it. I will probably do a cam next year, and/or maybe 3.90 gears. When you change your cam do you have to uprgade anything else? About what is the total price installed?

3.90 gears ,in my eyes are good for the 1320 but perhaps not so much for the roadcourse .

you can go broke chasing down dyno numbers. cars are different, pcm's are different, tuners are different, 248C dynojets that spit out supposedly "SAE corrected, smoothing 5" can be different. 
just go run the car and have fun

After a series of mods on my C6, i asked my tuner about the dyno numbers. When he told me, I expected slightly higher too. He said "I can get another 10rwhp on the sheet but it wont make your car any faster. You don't race dynos."
I'm sure your car is plenty quick. Enjoy
