Dyno results are in
Dyno results are in I took my LT1 to the dyno (dynamic dyno) and below are the results. I mainly took it to get the WOT a/f worked out. Turns out that the car likes being pretty rich above 4000rpm. I got the best results running at an 11.8 a/f. I think if I richened the mixture slightly more I might have even put up some better numbers. All my mods are listed below.
Yeah. looking over the graph the guy operating the dyno let off early. The car shifts at 6200 if he would've kept on it it probably would have easily went over 400. The curve wasn't anywhere near falling off went he got off the throttle at 5800.

Most people aim for a mid 12s A/F at wot.
I'm with engineermike, the graph is a little misleading, the 30rwhp blip at the end is likely artifact and the scaling of the curve makes it difficult to really interpret what the car is making. That being said, it IS making good power and is probably pretty fun on the street. Enjoy it!

a/f vs. RPM. I'm new to tuning and that looked like the easiest way. It was in fact pretty easy to do.

Trying to interpret a stalled auto on a dyno, is a nightmare. I wouldn't really care about the numbers, but if you really are making close to 400rwhp in a stalled auto, you should have no problems running very low 11's or high 10's. Which is more important then how much power you make :p Good numbers.
