Default what numbers should i be making?

so i got my car tuned and dynoed. as per the tuner i am putting down 383 hp at the wheels. this is what i have:
ls6 intake/tr22/224 114lsa/AFR 205cc heads/QTP 1/34"LTs/hardend pushrods/1.7 roller rockers/lid/ and true duel exhaust.

the numbers dont seem to add up to me. im not a veteran tuner or anything but i have been around i think i should be getting more out of this than what i am getting. did i get a tuner that didnt know anything or do the numbers look solid? any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.

-Nick

I have a few friends with very similar setups in their C5's. All are above 425-430RWHP on a DJ.
