Default low dyno??

Mods are as follows:
g5x2 cam
mac mid length headers/ cats
x-pipe
borla xr-1 mufflers (straight though)
u/d pulley
ls6 intake
ported t/b
lid
160* tstat
*2.73 gears!* 10-bolt
pt4400 stall
built 4l60E

I had it tuned by Dan at FLP and the car runs really good. The converter was unlocked during the runs.

It dyno'd 332whp/310tq (i think thats right for the tq, i don't have the sheet with me)

Last year with 3.42 gears and my race weight of 3400lbs i was only running 11.90's@110 with a 1.59 60'.......i see other people with mods similar to me, and a heavier car running mid-low 11's.

Is there a good possibility there is something wrong with my car??

edit: tranny is on a fresh build, and the motor has less then 10k miles on it.

Automatics are not dyno queens, some setups with unlocked converters beat the calulator EASILY!
