Y2K Camaro cam only: FIRST DYNO! After owning the car for 4.5 years, I finally got myself to a dyno to see where the car is at and I couldn't be more pleased.
Mods: CompCams 224/224 .563/.563 112 cam with 918 springs and Comp pushrods, LS6 intake, ASP pulley, Pacesetter headers & ORY, SLP 2OTL catback, lid, K&N, free mods, and STOCK TUNING
Final results: 386 RWHP and 369 RWTQ. (need a scanner for the sheet, sorry)
I am getting the car dyno tuned next week, so I am hopeful to see 400RWHP and maybe 380RWTQ. I was very suprised to see that the air/fuel was not that badly out of whack. Started out lean and was pretty good until 4500 rpm when it spiked to super lean (like 18.0+) Power was still climbing, so getting the mixture worked out and getting a higher rev limiter should make quite an improvement. Curves were nice and flat with no spikes. I am super happy!

18-1 
holy crap thats high usally we try to keep them in the mid12's on the dyno because on the street its even higher, with all the knock you have to be seeing you should have a ton of power left. but 18-1 seems like you lucky it hasnt blown yet. dyno 02 maybe way off though almost has to be id think, if it loses the signal, it will go 18-1 as high as it will go

Yeah, the cutoff was 18:1. I am really kind of confused because everything I have ever heard said that longtube headers make the cars run rich. It seems I have the opposite problem. I also see I was not looking at the sheet properly..... AF seems pretty good until 3400, then it just goes right off the chart. There was a little gray/black smoke that started around then too, so I don't think it was losing the signal.
Getting the AF straightened out........ how much more power could I realistically see?

Nice numbers. Another possibility is the sensor blew out from the exhaust and in that case it goes to 18 too. How many times did you dyno and did this happen on all runs?

No, the sensor didn't move an inch. (bungeed to tailpipe) I did 3 runs and they were all the same as far as a/f goes. First run was 376 HP (stopped at 5800) and the second was 383.
davered00ss: it is a great cam, pretty vanilla around here, but I like it. Also, keep in mind I don't have a before and after cam dyno comparison..... I might have one of those "freaks" that dynoed 345 hp stock. Anyway, it is a solid cam choice.

Nice numbers. You should have no problems picking up some power with a tune. I attached my sig of my TR224 with stock 241 heads below. 400rwhp is very possible.

You are probably making more power than I am.... my cam isn't the Thunder one, just an off the shelf Comp grind from LS1Speed. Also you list a 12 bolt w/ 4.10s.... that will rob some power too.
