Unhappy Dynoed today

I went to a dyno day today. I put down 392 rwhp and 366 rwtq. Back in march I put down 395 and 373 with stock tuning. The 392 was with PCMforless tuning and 30lb injectors. I'm ready to put it back to stock tuning.
If anyone could help me out with my problem please let me know. My a/f was at 13.3 today and march it was at 12.99. I was hoping to put down alittle more then 400 horse. The mods listed are in my sig.

Changing your AF from 12.9 to 13.3 can give you that difference in power that you saw pretty easily, seems okay to me. Like Mike said get it tuned in person.

your dyno is actually pretty good for a cam only car, definatly doublecheck that tune though cause your timing might be a bit high, I would also leave your a/f a little richer and sacrifice a few ponies instead of your motor.

Defintely agree your a/f seems a little lean. Cam only your numbers look pretty damn decent. Get it tuned in person and see what you get and be happy - you got pretty good power!

you are within 6RWHP that is well within the variance of the dyno. I dont think anything is wrong personally.

Keep in mind that 13.0+ on a dyno is not that great for the street unless you placed that wideband 02 near the header.

A lot of people try to tune for mid-low 12s if using the 02 at the tailpipe to give yourself a cushion on the street. N/A isn't so bad but I would hate to see a nitrous or blower car with a 13.0 AFR on the dyno. Too lean IMO.

As for your #s. I agree with everyone else. They look fine for your mods and mail order tunes are never a good way to max out your performance compared to a local dyno AND street tune session.

I know there not bad #'s. I just wanted to get to that 400 mark. I thought that it would do alittle better. I was just saying that my stock tune seemed alittle better. even though the tune even out my curve. I'll atap and see where my timing is.

32 is too much timing..
I dont like that and a sniffer WB needs to be around 12.6@WOT...
Your car is too lean,be careful..

I did the atap runs sent the files to him and my dyno sheets. He is going to tune it better. He said it seems like the LS1 don't need as much timing as lt1. I sent it out today and when I get back I'll put it on the dyno again and see what is happening. Thanks for all the replys.
