Default Low Dyno Numbers???

I just got back from the dyno and I am kinda dissapointed in the numbers my car put down. I got a best of 375 RWHP and 347 RWTQ. I know it should be alot higher so see if you guys can help me out. Numbers are SAE corrected but it was a really hot day out. Barometric pressure was 30.06 in.Hg., Intake air temp was 105 degrees. Also I think the car was running a little lean as the air to fuel was on average 13.1. Also I was seeing up to 5 degrees of knock which i think was because of the leaness. The timing was right around 24. Do these things explain the low numbers and what would be the easiest way to fix it. See sig for mods.
Here is the Dyno:

Seems kind of low, but timing is low. I would have timing around 29 plus degrees..

do you think the lack of timing and the couple degrees of KR would cause the low numbers? And do you think being a little lean would cause these symptoms?

13 to 1 A/f seems about right. IF the car is knocking with 24 degrees it wouldn't make sense to move it up to 29. That will make it detonate even worse.

from what i was told it was getting KR because it was running to lean. Does anyone else have any ideas of why the numbers are so low. I was looking for at least 410
