Default Dyno #s seem too high. Thoughts?

Dyno'd the car for the first time ever today. Woohoo i had a blast. However the numbers were quite unexpected. 375HP/390TQ.
The car is an '02 Z28 M6 with a K&N filter, SLP lid, ported TB, SLP long-tubes, ORY with cats added, and a Loudmouth cat-back.
I was thinking along the lines of 310 to 320 HP, maybe that's even too high.
The dyno was a DynoMITE, I think by land-and-sea.
Any idea what the right numbers would be?

Yes those are high. Expect 350-360rwhp for a full bolton LS1 6 speed. 01-02 LS1s are known for dynoing 310-320 bone stock.

I imagine it's due to the STD correction, although even that doesn't explain the high torque numbers.

did you buy this car with the mods already on it? if so any chance the other owner had this motor rebuilt? like maybe a stroker? maybe you hit a small goldmine?

I don't know. Is that something I should have asked the guy before I left?

I bought the car in 2005. The motor blew last year at 161K and I put a used motor in it from an 02 Z28 AT that had 73K on it. I've done the mods myself.

Take it to the track and see how well you do. dyno numbers are exactly that (a number)
the track numbers are what counts. you mite dyno high and run crappy or ive seen some cars dyno low and run great at the track. But yes those numbers are high

My car put up 351 RWHP and 365 ft-lbs STD on a DYNOmite by land and sea with full exhaust and a tune.
Is this the same dyno where you take the wheels off the car?

The dyno was in the ground. The car was driven onto it.

Wheels need to be taken off on a Dynapack Dyno, & maybe others, too.

I recently saw a car with your exact mods do 325rwhp. I think your numbers are pretty high seeing as your bolt on car makes more torque than my heads/cammed car

But as said above dynos are just tools for tuning.

My 02 M6 bolt on car... supermaxx with catted y. cai and LM1 no emissions and on cali 91 crap gas made 355whp/270wtq SAE on a dynojet. If you travel or move around a lot... you need to always dyno on a dynojet. no matter where you go, from coast to coast... your dyno #s will always be within a few whp instead of from a mustang dyno say... it could be over 5whp and cause you to be alarmed...

when I had my 2002 dynoed back in 2004 in NJ after finally doing UD pulley, LTs and the tune... it made 353whp/370wtq... then just last year... after adjusting tune for 91 oct for Cali gas... it made 2 whp more with 91 then in NJ with 93 gas.
but you always want to use SAE correction on the dyno.

When my WS6 had a lid and MAC headers and a translator it made 355 and I thought that was high but didnt care because Im not really one that is big on dyno numbers. But, when the car went 114 mph at the track I was suprised.
I coulnt lean my car out and it was so rich it would have black smoke at full throttle. If I had a way to tune it I think it would have gone 116mph. This was full weight and through stock cat back.
