That RWHP seems a bit too high for the mods listed, especially for a 01. Sure you did not leave anything out?

I had to do a little extra to seal mine up good. It was on mine when I bought it and I didn't get the stock box with the purchase, so I gave it a little TLC, mainly with the gasket for the filter box, and it's done just fine. Car runs real good. Magnaflow exhaust and the Vararam and I'm faster that stock. Wanna trade?

Tuner said it's the flattest AFR of any LS he's tuned and he's done a lot of them. I asked if the power numbers were fudged in any way and he says no. I didn't really know what kind of numbers to expect and was definitely impressed with these. Still don't know what the community would anticipate. I looked around some in the tuning section and found very few dyno sheets. Screenshot of graph in link...
