Default I have a question for you guys....

I have a 1999 Camaro Z28 A4. It had 114,000 miles on the old motor. On the old motor, I dynoed it stock, it made 278 rwhp. Well, I added Kooks 1 7/8" L/T Headers, Kooks 3" Y-pipe, and borla stingers, a lid, and I picked up almost 50 rwhp, which added up to 323 rwhp due to a bad fuel pump. Well, I recently purchased a built and forged 347 motor with P&P aftermarket TB, LS6 Intake Manifold, MS3 cam, stock heads, and patriot gold springs, as well as a 3200 stall. All of that only made 380 rwhp. Am I missing something here...the other guy with the same set up EXCEPT he had a bigger stall, 3.73 gears, and pacesetter headers made 400 rwhp. Whats wrong?

different dynos for one, different conditions...I'm guessing you had it tuned? converter locked?

I only made 325rwhp with my cammed ls1, I'm hoping that's due to the mail order tune and 12 bolt eating up power

Dyno numbers don't mean much for an automatic. Take it to the track.
