Low Dyno Numbers With Cam I recently went to go dyno tune my car. As a baseline my car put down 318RWHP 320RWTQ. After the tune it made 341RWHP and 342RWTQ. A/F ratio is at 12.5. Why are the numbers low? I've seen cars with headers and bolt-ons dyno more. My mods are in my sig.

What kind of dyno was it? Was it a dynojet or Mustang dyno? In addition, do you know if it is just a low reading dyno? Possibly ask around to see what others have gotten.
Further, not sure of the gains that a Weiand intake can make. Have you done any searching on the comparison(s) between the Ls6 vs the Weiand? If I remember correctly, the Weiand put down the same numbers as an ls1 intake. Therefore, I would think that the ls6 would be worth at least 10-15rwhp or more with a cam.
Lastly, FWIW when I had Lts, catback, lid and a 224 .581 112 cam I put down 375rwhp/365rwtq untuned--at that time, even those numbers were a little low...
Hopefully everything works out for you bro, good luck

that seems very low for an M6. Even with a tiny B1 (221, not that much different from a TR220) I made 385rwhp with MAC headers, Pulley, TSP lid, and cutout.
