2005 C6 Here. Added Cooks Headers, Comp 620" Cam, Varam Cold Air Intake, High Flo-Cats and Tuned to a RWHP of 407. You are about right with mods and HP. Good luck.

What kind of dyno were you tuned on? Keep in mind Mustang dynos and Dynojets will net different numbers. Dyno jets read higher numbers.
Also, realize that not every Vette is the same, and two identical cars with two identical sets of mods will still produce different numbers.
Focus on the overall gains you picked up from the mods and not what the next guy's car laid down for numbers.

My car has only been on one dyno "Dynojet" located at Cartek in NJ. I never had it dyno-ed when it was "Bone Stock" it was dyno-ed after I had the Vararam Intake, & "Tune" done and it made371... after the Kooks Headers, & Ported intake it went to 397 on the same dyno it picked up 26 HP with the addition of the Kooks Headers & porting the stock intake manifold..
With 397mph my 3200 stalled auto ran 122mph in decent weather
