Default low dyno numbers?

I had my car dyno tuned last week in order to get the msot of my mods and get rid of any codes.

The car:
2000 t/a M6 with 51k on it. pacesetter LT's, SLP lid, TSP catted-Y,
SLP loudmouth II, eibach prokit

Car put down 339hp/323tq, now my tuner said that he tried to bring the torque curve in as early and keep it there.

Now this was on a mustang dyno, but my question is will a heavily worn clutch lower my TQ number?

I don't really see anything wrong with those numbers. Got any track numbers on it?

Pretty typical numbers, even strong peak HP if the mustang dyno reads low. Maybe the peak TQ is a bit low for what I've seen but how does the curve look?

Yah definatly no issues with those number. BUT, what alot of people get warped about is numbers, NOT their times. Take to the track once you get it in working order. Numbers = nothing if you cant even run it..
