Dyno numbers, would you be disappointed?
Ok so here is the quick back ground.
Car: 2012 centennial grand sport with npp
At 851 miles I had a base Dyno done. Numbers where 396hp and 389Tq.
Added a halltech intake. Dynod again at 3k miles and did 412hp and 403tq with no tune! Good numbers I thought for a basically stock car.
Final. 3400 miles, halltech intake, kooks 1 7/8th headers with x pipe and cats and a tune.final numbers are 432.95hp and 421tq.
Your thoughts? The tune is conservative as I do hpde events. I just figured headers would have gained me more. I was really hoping for around 450hp and 435tq

my prev. ls3 c6 dyno'd 389/378 bone stock (as most are), vararam cai, lg headers and tune 420rwhp/420rwtq... 450/435 will not happen..
A medium spec'd cam will get you 475/450

Yes it was the same Dyno (dynojet). Forgot to mention we did another run with just the halltech the same day as the headers and tune install with roughly the same numbers.
What I did notice though was the halltech only run was 67.4 degrees when it ran ( about 8am) the headers and tune run it was 84.7 degrees (about 3) but I think the temp change would only be good for maybe another 3-4hp.

What the dyno numbers are, is not important. The 36 HP gain is the meaningful number.
I understand your disappointment though. Since the manufacturers advertise all those big numbers, your expectations don't get met.
If you ask the dyno operator for a 450 HP sheet, he can probably make it happen. The real number you want to improve is ultimately on your lap time timeslip.

Numbers seem high from stock to modified, but picking up 21rwhp from headers isn't bad. It's not the best either, but a more aggressive tune could possibly get you another 4-6rwhp...who knows.
