as stated...320 now

and i think you ment .522 and .529" lift not "222in lift and 229ex"

with the cam and dyno tune...360

I had all of the same mods on my '99 minus the headers. Mine dyno'd at 329.6rwhp and 346.4rwtq. I'd give you another 10-15 tops with the headers.

Don't confuse 320 at the wheels with 320 at the flywheel. The factory rates at the flywheel, which means the 320hp they say it is equals 282hp at the wheels with a 12% loss of power in the drivetrain. So, to say you have 320hp at the wheels is like the factory saying it has 364hp at the flywheel.

Drive train loss for a 6 speed Camaro is 18% not 12%

Exactly. So when honduh rates their vehicles at 120hp, it's actually more like 80hp
But anyways.. I think that your guy's numbers are right except for the cam part; I think that after a cam he will be pushing close to 375-380fwhp

Maybe if it was a B1 cam or something in the 224 duration .560" lift area. That cam is tiny.

Hm.. thats a very good point I'm sure he will still end up with more than 330rwhp because the stock cam in an LS1 is *tiny*

Please provide details and/or links on how you derived the 18% number. I personally don't see how adding horespower causes you to lose more power through the same drivetrain. The percentage should be relative to each vehicles combination.
