Default Are these #'s normal or low

Got my car dyno tuned yesterday after QTP header install and TSP trueduals with Dynomax bullets because its gonna be probably over a year before i do anymore performance mods The car is a 2000ss m6 besides headers and dual exhaust all the car has is an SLP flow pac. Car also has 18"x10.5 chrome zo6 wheels out back and it was also 110 degrees during the dyno so i'm sure those 2 factors hurt the numbers. Well enough holding out the car put down 322.38hp and 324tq. Sounded a little low to me but i think if it had a Ls6 intake it'd really help it. What do you guys think of my numbers are they pretty normal? The cars pulls real hard on the street and sounds amazing though. Heres a pic of the graph

I think they are low. I have seen most cars Dyno 340 RWHP with Longtubes & Exhaust. Something is not right.

DA plays a huge part in horsepower! Go to the track in 55 degree weather vs 110 degree weather and tell me the results!

looks normal to me, the ls1 intake is holding you back some, with it on i'm sure you would be right around everyone else

110 degrees!! holy **** thats hot!!
I just did a car that made 494 in 103 degree temp. The very next morning it made 503 in 90 deg temp.
And this was on a DJ with SAE correction factor. SAE dont mean **** at those temps.
You will gain at least 10 hp if you dyno it in the 90s.

I wouldn't be too worried about them. With an LS6 intake and normal air temps you'd probably be around the 350 mark which is what most bolt on 01-02s dyno.
