Can you list your full mod list, to see if you have things like pulley, or EWP, what kind of headers, etc...
I had full boltons with my 98 M6 and I dynoed 344/350 but with shorty headers...plus ported ls6 intake, asp pulley, 85mm MAF, Suncoast Intake, shaner TB, bassani true duals, high flow cats, dyno tune.
The Granatelli is problably not holding you back...based on what your air/fuel ratio is (got a graph?), but might need some tuning if it hasn't been tuned already. There's no telling how it's calibrated, unless you know something about the voltages it puts out so I don't know how hard it would be to tune for it.

Those are excellent numbers. The stock manifolds are what are holding you back, but I don't blame you for keeping them. I live in Cali, that's why. Maybe an Electric Waterpump and almost any aftermarket lid will make a difference. Also a tune would help you out some as well. Dyno numbers don't tell the entire story. If you feel like yiou're putting down more power, then that's all that matters.

I see that alot!!!! ill see a couple of cars with basically the same bolt on mods but some dyno way more than others. Why do you guys thinks that is???
I would say get a dyno without that hpp3 in there. I made my car run like crap. So did the granatelli maf.
I sold both ofr $100 bucks on here. My car felt faster and I got better gas mileage.
20mpg > 12-10mpg

The Granatelli MAFs have alot of issues. One may have a perfact curve, and the next one will make a car go lean or way rich...there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it at all.
The stock MAF on our cars is good to well over 500rwhp, it will definitely not hold you back!
