You're a stalled auto, so your numbers are going to be less than a manual. I should be more concerned with what you can do at the track. That should tear down the 1/4 mighty quick.
I think those are good numbers. You want more, get a Spin ported FAST and that'll really put a smile on your face.

A stock LS2 A6 car averages 335 rwhp on a dynojet.........your numbers sound good to me. I would install a FAST intake. Run your car in S mode and let it shift itself......if you hang on the rev limiter, have your trans tuned. This would be a great combo for the 1/4 mile.
