This was too funny. I sent this guy a ebay question:

How much power are you making with a stock motor? With stock exhaust manifolds? With stock manifolds, the most gain is single digits. No real work whatsoever? How did changing the rear gears add horsepower to the engine? The best cold air intake might add 15 HP yet you claim the filtercharger adds up to 25? You MIGHT have a total of 290 HP. Sure, you’ve beat 12 second Corvettes. Your wheels and hood look like *** but perhaps you’re into that "look" It’s spelled CAMARO. I don’t know who’s dumber, you for listing it like this or the morons who’ve bid on it. Don’t respond to me, you’re an idiot.

I am goin to investigate this one...
This is what I wrote to him, I am trying to play stupid so I can see what he says..

"What's up- I was wondering if you have Dyno Slips on this car, I am looking for something with some power, and you look like you have some stuff done to this car.."

I'll let you guys know.

This is what I got back, some of you guys are letting him know what's up...

"No, I am sorry I do not have any dyno slips. People are telling me that the horsepower stated of 360 might not be that high. I am very sorry for the misunderstanding. I CAN tell you that the stock horsepower came 275, then I added a flowmaster exhaust system, K&N fuel injection kit and filter, Hypertech computer programming chip, and a 3.73 rear end instead of the original 3.42. It is a pretty fast car. I have raced it at the lapeer track, over 3 years ago, and it did beat 3 different corvettes, 2000 and 2001. You can always come test drive it if you wanted to see its actual power. Thank you for your interest."

I am going to give him a reply back that might help him to re-word his page.

No, that was said in a way to let him figure it out that he is wrong, not to make him look good. I sent him my cardomain link.
