I feel your pain. My 08 C6ZO6 dyno'd low. Car was broke in properly too.
Remember this :

*I like to use the old "Cut/Burn or Cut and Polish" method. After abt 500mi.,
HAMMER THE HELL OUT OF IT 1-3. Then back off. That's an ol' trick to really get the rings to seat.
*Dyno numbers can be played with..period. Preferred is SAE. Most numbers are done w/out air filters, few other tricks too.
*HAVE FAITH IN MOPAR - I PROMISE YOU THAT DAMN WEDGE V-10 DID'NT MK IT PAST THE ENGINE DYNO W/OUT PROPER NUMBERS!! If it was low then, it would have been tagged and sent back.
-----------
** DYNO, SMYNO...GUYS ALWAYS PUT SO MUCH FAITH IN DYNO #'S..THEY ARE GREAT DON'T GET ME WRONG...PLS REMEMBER TO ALWAYS ASK "WHAT DOES IT DO AT THE TRACK".....THAT'S WHERE IT COUNTS!!!
Good luck.
