Yep, don't feel upset, you setup is not complete. I have the same cam, pp 5.3 heads with a tsp ported throttlebody, pacesetters, asp pulley...basically everything and put 447.3/395 through the 10 bolt. Add everything up and you will be in the 430-440 range and any difference after that you can attribute to a difference in tune/dyno's.
About the bog you describe....everyone has it with a stock 10 bolt and 342 gears. We need 410 gears with this cam to really help it get off the line.

I also have this setup and have low power blues. But I do have ported TB LS6 intake and all the other goodies only managed 400rwhp. Last years set up with a 224 228 cam and heads that only flow 38o managed to pull 392 rwhp. Something wrong on my side 2.

Hey man dont feel to bad my car only put out 391hp and 386tq at the rear wheels on my h/c combo and I had also got mine installed and tuned by Speed Inc. I have the Patriot S2 LS6 heads with TR224 cam. I'm kind've in your boat with not having a ported TB or Underdrive pulleys so hopefully those two can put me over 400. I'm also thinking about dumping my cats as well.
