Default Horsepower?

wow,I look at the results various cars are puttimg out on the Dyno and I can't help but wonder if there is something wrong with my car.Look below at my mods.I read about the tremendous HP being posted on many of thse cars and with all my mods,I am not even close to their posts.Maybe there is something wrong with my car.Do you think my car is putting out the correct HP for the engine and mods?

I think it's a little low. I have 394 rwhp and 378 rwtq on a stock LS6 with just the bolt ons. I would take it back to Andy and have it double checked.

It's your Magnetic Oil Drain Plug, it's a known fact they rob H.P.

A4 or m6? comp. ratio? gears? strong h.p. your tq seems a bit low.
