Dyno'ed the SS
Dyno'ed the SS I had a chance to dyno and tune my 2001 Camaro SS at Haddad Motorsports today. I had previously street tuned it meticulously, so well that the fuel trims average between -1% to 0% throughout the driving range. First pass on the dyno resulted in 336rwhp and about 370rwtq. After I played around with the timing (didn't like more, nor less) and rearranging the fuel, I arrived at 342rwhp and 397rwtq consistently. It did hit peak of 345rwhp and 398rwtq, but I couldn't back it up. I also decided to do a locked converter run for comparison's sake, that netted 361rwhp and 391rwtq. As you can see in the graph, the thin line is the unlocked results, while the thick line is the locked converter results.
My setup is a factory stock LQ4 long block with only Hooker LTs, ORY, and Catback. It does have a B&M 3000 converter and 3.73 gears out back.

Generous dyno, especially with the tq #s. Obviously not a Dyno Jet.
This dyno measures actual rear axle torque, something a dynojet has to calculate.

Too bad pedalling didn't help, like previously. 
I had a feeling it was good, as the driver's compartment got filled with tire smoke.

Verdad Gallardo Update:
I took advantage of a private track rental at one of our better tracks out here, Famoso Raceway (elevation = 600'). This was a good day to race as the DA was around 2000'. Although I ran my SS as driven on the street: Riken 275/40/17 street tires and chrome SS 10-spoke wheels, front sway bar installed, no track tricks. I was able to attain the numbers in my sig: 12.830 @ 107.25 mph on a 1.826 60' with a DA of 2193'. My race weight was 3720lbs (car weighed 3460lbs with LS1, +60lbs for the LQ4, +200lbs for myself = 3720lbs). Best 60' was a 1.818 with a 107.60 mph on a previous run (12.839). Not too shabby for $150 street tires.

i am just saying!!! that dyno sucks and u might want to get that done somewhere else but that is good if u care about dyno numbers!!!! what do u run with the cam with 400 rwhp i am curios to know that
Why do you say that? This dyno extremely accurate. The 1/4 mile track I used before the cam swap is not open anymore for me to test out the new cam numbers, it has been in for only 2 weeks.

George knows what he is doing; he is a MORE than competent tuner. Nice numbers, bet the car is a bit more fun to drive now And you have to love the sound. Congrats.
I don't know what thing in your signature is with cones and turning and what-not but...
-edit- doh! guess that sig is over at HPT
