opinions please
Please let me know if these are normal results or what. I have an 07 MN6 z51 that I had a shop put on kooks 1 3/4' lt headers, 3x3 high flow cat xpipe, corsa extreme pipes and halltech intake and custom tune. I am not sure what kind of dyno or SAE, std etc they have, but the results were 368 hp/ 361 tq and this is in phoenix elevation on a 70-75 deg day. Is this normal? I guess I was expecting a bit more out of all this put together. I am jealous of these guys getting over 400hp with only a ported manifold it seems.

Dont be discouraged but find what the base numbers were then take it from there. It takes pretty much of all the bolton mods and a really good tune to get to 400 but it can be done.

thanks guys
as always, the people on this site are top notch. I appreciate the advice and the votes of confidence. I didn't know what to compare too. I don't know much about dynos at all, but the sheet didn't say much about it either, only the axis labels were SAE. Don't know what the car started at because I live 5 hours from the tuner and they started the installs in the morning and then had a custom tuner come in the afternoon. He seemed to know his stuff, this is a vette specialty shop and everything seems to run great.
I love my car, but did buythe extended warranty and want it to last, but would love more punch. I can't really tell if I got a whole lot out of the mods, but it is more responsive. Never a complaint from 0-70, but from 70-120 takes to long IMHO. Haven't timed it though, just always WOT. Great car and no complaints. thanks again for the the comments.
