Default correct hp numbers for this setup?

hello all,
just so i can get some information going and rest my case.
i added to my camaro:
243 heads
224r cam
ls6 intake
port and polished stock throttle body
VALVE SPRINGS 1.290" 130 LB .600" MAX LIFT
Ati Super damper
36lb injectors
3.73 gears
i am making 381hp to the wheels
can i get more out of my setup?
i have tuned like 4 time already and this last tune was the best
i could get out of my car.
this is with 88 oct fuel(i live outside the USA and this is what we get)
i can get 100 oct fuel but galon costs 10.544 per galon
the 88 oct fuel costs 4.51 per galon
your input is very welcomed

With only 88 octane I imagine your timing is seriously reduced to prevent detonation. Any idea how much timing you're running?

What % duty cycle are your injectors at? Is your Camaro manual or automatic?

Good numbers for a 224 cam. Most of them top out around 400

Oh wow, its not the timing then lol. I'm really surprised you can run that much on 88 without knock. Are the 243 heads stock?

Getting them ported is always a good thing, but what I'd do first is go run it at the track. The trap speed will be the true indicator of the power you're making. It's very possible it's just a low reading dyno, I've seen that before. If your trap speed is off you'll then know something is up

1. What's your current compression ratio?

2. Of hand, I would say that if you're stuck with 88 octane fuel, do NOT mill the heads. This would raise your compression ratio, and force your tuner to retard timing in order to prevent detonation. You'll almost certainly lose power if you go this course.
