Default Mods and Messed Up HP? (Bad car?)

High Flow G2 Airlid
Ported MAF/TB
Crane "Z" Cam with .585 lift, (218, 224)1.8 rockers, double coil valve springs
TCI 3500 Stall Converter
Pacesetter LTs
No Cats
TSP True Dual Exhaust 3"

Dyno'ed HP:
1) 295 before mods
2) 357 after mods and tune
3) 329 after 2nd tune

With everything I should be turning around 385-390, but no luck. Just thought I could post here to see if someone has a different/close combo to mine.

357 rwhp with a small cam and exhaust as your only power mods is not bad for an a4. why did you try to tune it again, did you add a different mod?

No LS6 Intake, going for an LSX. My cam was not .585 before the rockers, the rockers made them a .585 lift. So by the sound of it you all think it is normal, right??

Very normal, especially with the verter and the ls1 intake.
