He almost has full bolt ons i would say that isn't normal 99blkz28 he should be puting down more like 340 to 350. A tune would only help so much, check to make sure you have no air leaks and all the gaskets are on good.

I agree totally, to many people read far too much into dyno numbers. And besides the mods listed are no where near FULL bolt ons, and there is no gaurantee they all make power.
the car is 99 m6 z28
mods:
flowtech long tube headers - yes these should imporve BHP, but if it started with 280-300 rwhp it has gained. Also a tune would be worth while.
true duals - what setup, you could easily loose power with a poor dual setup, it's all about flow rate. What mufflers are used.
ls6 intake - again it should make power, but was it definatley an LS6 intake? Many people have bought 2nd hand ones only to later find out it's an LS1 intake. A tune is vital
bbk 80mm throttle body - again no tune = pointless. Plus the stock TB actually flows pretty decently.
spec stg 3 almu flywheel - only minimal gains on a dyno, but should improve throttle response
air lid (stock filter) - again....
stock gears - so
no tune - probably the biggest culprit
the car dynoed 318rwhp 327rwtq is it good? - yes and no. A tune has the potential to find another 15-20rwhp. And there's no way a car with those mods should be making more than 340-350rwhp.
Plus as mentioned already, what type of dyno was it on? Even the tyre pressures could have effected the results by 1-3rwhp.

K&N won't do a thing for the car, IMO they aren't worth the risks (over oiling and possibly ruining the MAF). If these numbers are from a Mustang dyno then they are right in line. A tune will always help, sometimes more than you think.
