Reckart Performance just got my '12 Base M6 (2500 miles on the odo) dyno'd at 363 rwhp and 358ft-lbs. Yuck.
Fortunately this is the "before" dyno with the A&A being installed.

I suppose I should update my own numbers since I made this thread so long ago.
I was on a Dynojet completely stock and made 385/387
On the same Dynojet, a year later after a B&B Bullet catback and Vararam VR-SC1 it made 395/397.

Interesting info on dyno numbers but as everyone has said they don't mean a thing. My 2009 Z51 MN6 with the exhaust on open with the mild to wild was 393.4 today before tune and 399.8 after. The stock tune must have been pretty good, for a good bit of the power band, under 4k, there was almost no improvement, above that it was 5-15 more all the way up.
But these seem high compared to what everyone else is saying...

2008 C6 with the Grand Sport Conversion 373.07 RWHP 364.26 RWTQ no NPP exhaust all stock down to filter.
While we had the car on the dyno we installed the Halltech Super Bee 103 and made another back to back pull. We were rewarded with 383.33 RWHP 374.27 RWTQ a honest gain of 10 and 10 with the Halltech.

2021 C6 of the Year Finalist - Modified
By looking at all the various numbers posted, it would appear that the average for a bone stock 436 HP LS3 is very close to these numbers if your using a DynoJet with SAE corrected numbers:
(Mustang dyno numbers obviously will be lower than what's listed below)
M6 . . 385 RWHP (12% drivetrain loss)
A6 . . 370 RWHP (15% drivetrain loss)

I beat you, I went to a dyno day and I first car up and I did 365 RWHP. 2008 A6 Base car
Heck maybe he lowered the Dyno that day so he could get sales of people wanting to increase power, Oh well. I have been a 12.63 @ 113 though. But my 60's are about 2.0.

2013 Grand sport A6
have a 2013 a6 grand sport that put down 372whp stock and 408whp /402 tq after headers and a tune. Granted it was Phoenix, 113 degrees out with 60% humidity. This was on a dynojet.
