A touch low......but since we know nothing about the dyno or air quality I'd say that it's within the expected 'margin'.

That 6L80E is probably eating up 18 - 20% in drivetrain loss. Numbers look about spot on to me. Bet she rips pretty well with that stall!

Well.....a friend of mine laid down high 420's with the 525HP Crate in his Impala SS.

So based on my experience with one 525HP crate.......he's a touch low; but only a touch.

All dynos read different, its all about it being tuned correctly.

That's right where it should be.

That engine is rated differently than a factory installed engine like the LS3. When tested with the same correction as the LS3 it is a ~500HP engine.

Really? How so?

I asked because last I checked, all OEM and crate engines are rated from engine dynos, with no accessories.

Factory GM engines are J1349 (SAE).
Non-factory GM crate engines are J607 (STD).

The LS376/525 would make about 500HP when tested under J1349. Conversely, the LS3 makes about 455HP when tested under J607.
