Angry HELP!! Dyno Run: This cant be normal!

I got 1 run on the dyno today and the results were 237.2 Max power and 267.7 Max torque! Is this normal with CAI, Jet Hot LT's, no cat, flowmaster, and TB Bypass? I mean isnt a stock z28 like 280 hp? Im really down right now, i was hoping for at least 290-300 hp. Also i got a Air/Fuel gauge and im running lean and rich at the same time, is this normal? The gauge goes crazy when i step on the gas and when i let go of the gas it falls down all the way. I think there is something seriously wrong with my car what do you think?

Definitely not right.
Any numbers on fuel pressure and timing???
Need some numbers from the ecm or even a look at the dyno can be helpful, also fuel pressure..

Is your car hard on gas lately? Maybe your O2s are shot. Maybe the opti is dying or the coil is shot.

O2's wouldn't matter, they're ignored at WOT. Post the dyno graph if you can.

Both numbers are down 20 from stock.

LT1's dyno about 255/290

Look at it this way, at least you found out that there is a problem so that you can fix it and max out the potential of your Z28.

I don't know, but DANG that's crazy. Seems like it would be something you could feel with those spikes. Does the car feel smooth?

Sorry.
