You can't be serious.. so what I'm getting from your post is that the GM site and any other site with specs that say there's 171hp going through my car are actually lying? And 8.2 is for the 2.2L Even at the top of every thread in this forum section for 2.4 it clearly states: "171 hp EcoTec with 163 lb-ft of torque" and an 8.3 second 0-60 is not accurate. You don't lose 1.2 seconds with the automatic version.. I'd be glad to send pics of my numbers if/when I hit the track and dyno. Glad to..
So yes we are serious. The manual loses less power through drivetrain losses and has better gearing.
You will be surprised. Id bet you only dyno around 155-160whp. The tune you have is a conservative one.
The fact is that 2.4 auto's are slow. Period. Once you turbo them they can run very strongly. Even the 2.4 auto's who people supercharged arent considered fast. But they can be somewhat quick.
Sit back do some reading and research.

BecauseRacecar:
you will be lucky if you gain 40whp on typical full bolt-on's with the 2.4 (more if you do some headwork with cams, porting, etc)
I dyno'd my 2.2 5spd at 124whp stock and with full bolt ons (ie, intake, 2.4 tb, 2.4im, trifecta tune, header, catted dp, 2.5" catback), I redyno'd at 157whp so I picked up just about 35whp from fully bolting my old car... same can be said with yours. you are nowhere near 215whp! maybe 165ish-whp would be a better estimate considering your an auto
and thats the exact reason I said eff it and got the ss/tc... 230whp STOCK and at least 300+whp BOLTED AND TUNED... yes plz...
