I'm not sure why GM is commanding such a rich air/fuel on these cars, the LS3's are typical GM rich in the 11.5 to 12.0 range, but the high 10's to low 11's on the L99's reminds me of how bad they do on the stock tune on the trucks. The timing is also very weak on the L99 factory tunes and there looks to be a lot of gains to be had on these tunes. Once I get one on the dyno instead of just a street tune I will get some before and after numbers up.
The six speed auto is good for 20 to 22 % drivetrain loss at least based on Vettes and STS-V's I have dyno tuned. Only the M6 is going to give you a 15 to 17% loss. The A6 is pretty heavily built for strength and that eats up power to the tires.
Really there is nothing wrong with your car, that is just how it is programmed from the factory and the dealer has no way to fix that.
Something in the 320 to the tire range is what I would expect one of these to make to the tire stock. 400 X .8 (just a 20% drivetrain loss) is 320HP.

That is right it is pulling timing like the truck and is also rich i was tolled all this from the guys at Vararam and the timing is baked out at 2500 RPM and up. This is do to the heat and humidity if you look at his Dyno's his first one has 49% humidity 2nd has 42% and 3rd has 37% humidity so you see the more humidity the more it pulls timing and the lower the HP in the car.
