Here is a video...it was so loud inside the video couldnt even pick up the noise quality it should have.

To be honest, you were expecting TOO much from an untuned car. Once the car is tuned I'd expect maybe 425 but not until then. Car sounded great though, smelled awful lol

1. Car was pretty much 85% tuned from Kaltech

2. Guys who tune LS cars everyday from RPM told me to expect anywhere from 415-430 rwhp.

3. Like I said, I built everything myself

4. "Camaros are slow" lol

80-85% tuned is not 100% tuned so to expect those numbers from an unfinished tune is wishful thinking. I am 100% positive when the RPM tuner told you to expect 415-430 they were talking about 100% tuned numbers, not partially tuned numbers.
