An old rule of thumb says you get about one ft-lb of torque per cubic inch displacement, if the engine is breathing well. That is with naturally-aspirated engines, of course. The LS650 is 40 cubic inches, so a torque of 40 ft-lb is doing pretty good. Most will not match that, running more like 30 to 35. Any time your dyno reports more than a ft-lb per inch, you should start being suspicious.
Dynamometers do not measure horsepower. They measure torque and engine speed, and compute horsepower.
