Actually the more I think about it you have a good foundation of a car. If you didn't know already no matter what numbers you put up you still can beat a stock Gen 5 Camaro SS you should be proud of that. I know I was when I had the same mods as you. And don't be so fixated on the Dyno numbers because they are irrelevant as well i learned a lot from this forum the only thing that matters is what your time is at the strip so just get a tune and go to the strip and see what you run. You can be putting huge numbers down on a dyno and still get beat by someone that has far less numbers than you.

you said the lid and exhaust were on it when you bought it but then list it among the items you've done?
oil change, coolant flush etc are maintenance items and aren't going to do anything. You added weight with a trans cooler. You added maybe about 40 whp. Gains are all exaggerated by manufacturers and you can't take the highest claims from a bunch of individual parts and add them up. Parts complement each other. Without a tune all this extra air movement you've produced doesn't really do much but make better sound.

@Tjs114 the reason I mentioned the lid and CB is because I was trying to make a point of things done to the car and not seeing a Big improvement! Plus all Mods work well with each other that's why I stated the other mods.. Guys all I'm saying is how can all that's done only be 30 RWhp ??? That's all!!! But instead of getting insight I got Attacked about my HP.
Has your *** dyno been properly calibrated?
In all honesty without before AND after dyno runs or strip passé you have no idea what you've actually gained. A lot of mods will increase performance but you won't see a difference in street driving. You'll learn to take numbers and estimates you find here with a grain of salt. No two cars are the same and dyno differences, da differences and all the little variables will only serve to get your hopes up.
Do I think you gained 50 horses from intake, exhaust and a tune up? No. Does it really matter as long as the car is running properly and giving the most performance it can? To me again no.

Killed for using what everyone else says!! not the advertisers Whatever thanks for the help guys lol 
Well I mean offense man as I understand where your coming from but if you don't post in legible English then it makes you look uneducated an turns people off from replying.
Anyway full exhaust is usually worth 25-30 after a tune including catback. With full bolt ons they make 340-350. A4s dyno around 290-300 so they will be on the lower end of the spectrum. M6 cars make over 300 stock in many cases and will be higher. After a good dynotune is say you'll gain 40 from your baseline but you don't know what that is so it's hard to measure. Right now depending on what "tune" you had done you're probably making around 330-335 more could be had with a. Dyno tho

Ok search all of these Boltons and what ppl Dyno and most ppl with the same Setup are Getting 340-355 RW Depending on the car!!! These cars stock start out at 285-290 stock c'mon Guys ask ppl what they pull out of the LS6 swap and everyone says 15 and Read what they Dyno with a Header Set up! 20-25 don't make me look Crazy I know what I'm talking about! So with those 2 alone is Lowball 35 now add Lid, Cat Delete, CatBack, Cut out I don't know why ppl jump on the Band wagon on these sites I've built cars before I know what's up.. But you read these things daily if guy says from an Ls6 alone he gained 15 you say Yeah that's about right! And if that same guy tells you He put Headers ORY "You" say oh well yeah you should get 20-25 out of the Headers because of the LS6 and Vice Versa sometimes ppl Dont take into consideration what they've said on here before! So your telling me Lid,LS6 Swap,Pacesetter LT's,Electric Cut out,Cat Delete,MagnaFlow Catback is only 30-35 HP what Is wrong with you Fellas lol
