Default 6.0 tuning hp question

Okay, so everyone says that a 6.0 from an escalade pushes about 345 hp, the shop that's selling em said they dyno'ed 2 of their 6.0's at 395hp, now my question, if everyone says they push 345, could just a tune itself get it to 395? Thx

I think they confused their 9's with 4's

Just did my tune and got 280 at the rear wheels on a VHO. Allen got a 95 HP gain at the flywheel from a cam and a tune so at the flywheel maybe if the tuner is good...

what do you lose from fly to wheels on these setups? if you lose 15% then that makes sense. 395 X 85%=336hp (15%loss) 395 X 87%=344hp
