Dude, forget the HP numbers...jusat optimize it for the track and let the big dawg eat....Also you are not having any oil consumption issues are you? Is the cam degreed.. I know you stated adj. timing set...but who set it?

i set the can its grounded on a +2 advance already so to be safe with the PTV clearance i did another 2 degrees on the comp timing set
im having hardly no oil consumtion also.

Stall and gears are not power related but more how to efficiently apply power found.
Motor is like a pump, somewhere, you are not getting enough air and fuel to make the power desired.
I would start with intake area and more tuning, also a compression/leakdown test to see if all the cylinders are running right.

i would say fast from Texas-speed.com w/ TB for $1100
3.73 gears $700 installed or $400 by yourself
and some Heads PRC $1200 - ET,AFR,Trickflow $2400
you could do it cheap for around $2600 or pay a shop for $3900
the heads are optional... you def need gears and intake though. ($1500 - $1800)
your car will feel MUCH beter
dont forget you may need a retune too

might want to make sure your converter is locking up also on the dyno. i know when i had my vette dynoed a long time ago after just basic bolt ons and custom grind cam vig 3200 and ls6 intake manifold it dynoed at 376 with and unlocked converter. a few months later had it done again and jumped up to 408rwhp when the converter finaly locked.
I wouldn't even mess with 3.73 gears - I would consider 4.10's the minimum for that cam. Heck, Thunder says 4000+ stall and 4.30's.
Keep in mind that the dyno is a tuning tool, and you're not going to get hero numbers from that setup without an Electric Water Pump and a locked converter. I assume your TH-350 is not using a lock-up style converter. Also, your LS1 manifold is the worst of the bunch. Even an LS6 could get you 5-8 hp, but upgrading to a FAST 90 would make a big difference.
The good news: TH-350's shouldn't sap as much power as a 4L60e or TH-400.
Bottom line: That cam wants to pull to 7000 rpm, and once you gear it to run there, and minimize the intake restrictions to get it there, your track numbers will speak for themselves. Hopefully you have the suspension so you can get it to the ground properly.

dude I had almost the exact same #'s within 1 or2 horsepower. I had a ls1 intake and a stock lid on stock heads. I took it to the track and ran 12.00, and I almost died on the launch. I left at 5500 and that just was not good enough. I tried to leave at 6500 on my 9" and snapped it so never really got a good time my 60' on that run was 2.5 I had 4.10s and a 6 speed though. You will run great at the track. You do not have full bolt on's add an intake and some other things and you will be good. I did and gained 100 hp with just a new intake lid and new tune!. Not joking
I agree with everyone else. The dyno numbers will be WORSE with a bigger stall and shorter gears. But the track times will be improved, and that's all that matters. Don't be a dyno ricer. Track times count in an auto car.
Also, your stall might be a cheapo. On the local cars, we're seeing 96% efficiency on the Yank converters on the big end, while the cheaper converter we measured was only 86% efficient.

Even if you went from a stock lid, stock LS1 intake and a stock tune to an optimal setup, 40-60 hp seems much more typical.
Code:
Lid 5-10 Fast 90/90mm TB 20-25 Tune 20-30
