It really depends on the dyno and what you want to believe. Mustang dynos seem to be more realistic than dyno jets. I have seen a cammed ls1 make 400 on a jet then 360 on a mustang. My car 01 M6 with a cat-back and lid made 310/320 on a mustang dyno. Depending on the type of dyno you should be around 320-340 with those mods.

my 2002 camaro ss, M6, 3:42 10-bolt rear, all stock, stock 10 spoke oem rims with the goodyear 275/40-17 tires, dyno'd 328hp and 341 lb-ft. that was around 2005 I think.
Only thing that may not have been stock was a k&n filter in the oem blackwing airbox. engine was also on 5w-40 oil. This was in october in the evening around 6pm.

The post you quoted included this:
If this car had the Blackwing lid, then it also should have had the SLP dual/dual catback (I don't believe you could order the lid without the exhaust as well). So basically, you are talking about a lid/catback car in this case, which explains the numbers....although it's technically stock since it could be ordered new with these items.

sorry forgot to mention car also has the slp center mouth exhaust. I had ordered the car with all slp options, and had not done anything to it other than a k&n air filter.
other thing was i had vp 100 unleaded in the tank, not sure if that helped any and never got around to another dyno run with 93 octane. I don't remember what type of dyno they had, i tried asking questions and the guy basically didn't know anything other than I push the button and it gives me a printout. so i don't know if correction factors were applied ( i forget how that all works).

So it looks like my car made 337 HP & 339 ft lbs with everything listed in my signature along with TSP 1 7/8" LT's and a Y-Pipe with high flow cats. Also the car was dyno tuned.

Solid numbers op did you say what kind of dyno it was on? Maybe I missed it... Anyway when my car was an a4 with the ls1 and bolt on in sig it did 335 then I swapped in the ls6 and it put down 370whp. Finally after the m6 swap I ended up with 390whp on a mustang dyno and it still sounds like a stock bolt on ls1 at idle

yea my 02 ws6 a4 bone stock did 304rwhp and 308rwtq my buddies 98 t/a a4 bone stock did 291rwhp and 288rwtq i think the 01-02 cars make a little more cause of the ls6 manifold.
