Default Numbers are awfully low after tune...what's the deal??

I just recently rebuilt my motor (LS1) and I sent it to Kaltech in Long Island to get tuned. After tuning it on the dyno Brian told me it only put down 385 rwhp. Here is a list of my modifications and let me know if you also think that number is way too low. I don't know what kind of dyno he has or how good his tunes are but if anyone else had their car there tell me what you think:

[LS1 Motor]

- LS7 Lifters
- Crane Pushrods
- Patriot Gold Springs
- TSP 233/239 Cam
- TSP True Dual Exhaust w/ Dynomax Bullet mufflers
- Pacesetter Long Tube Headers
- FAST 92mm tb
- FAST 92 Intake Manifold
- 42 lb injectors
- Casting #799 Heads (stock)
- Stock Rear
- T56 Transmission

Seems like you should find out what kind of dyno he has before you get dejected.

Dyno numbers don't mean jack. The numbers at the track tell the truth. The proof is in trap speed.
