Either thats a happy dyno or those engines are under rated a bit. 470 crank -> 420 wheel means 11% drive line loss, which simply doesn't happen. 13-14% loss (seems to be about normal for manuals these days) puts it at around 485 at the crank. Unless of course, the dyno is being generous, which we won't know unless we see what other stock cars do on it. If an LS3 Camaro spits out ~380 hp on it, I'd say its pretty safe to say the extra power is in the dyno.
