Default dyno numbers for ls3

I recently installed a kaotic cam from vengeance racing my cars an 08 ls3 corvette 6 speed auto. This past weekend the local high school had a dyno day for $35 bucks get three passes I put my car on there and it made 460hp 410 tq mods include 1 7/8 stainless steel headers 2 1/2 inch xpipe and stock npp exhaust. I'm still untuned but I'm waiting to install my yank converter and then I'll get a tune. Is that about average in numbers the tq seemed kinda low thanks for your advice

Well, horsepower is calculated by multiplying torque x rpm. So your car made good horsepower at 460. A tune will help create more torque and from that hp.

The answers to your concerns are in bold. Basically you are untuned for the new cam, and the auto always is going to show less average power.
