I would venture to guess 430-440 and that is with no Kooks on it, since it is not listed what all is on the car there is my guess. Scooter@MTI formerly Scooter@HPE made 465 rwhp thru a M6 with bolt-ons, Kooks, cutout, and the HPE 5.3 heads & the "S" cam.

The highest number I put down was 386 rwhp. That was with a bad sensor. After sensor was fixed, it put down 374 rwhp. That was with the cutout closed and 103 degree temps going through a flowmaster. I know the numbers are low, but I have to give Chuck credit for trying on two seperate occasions to get the numbers up.

Yes it is very frustrating. It is boggling Chuck too. He says he has never seen a car do what mine is doing with this setup. 
He thinks that maybe the forged pistons (weight) and the Flowtech Long Tubes (air restriction) are keeping the horses down.

Has anybody else had a problem like this? I mean the car runs great. I'm not used to a big cam so I can't tell you if some of the noises from the valve train are normal or if some of the hesitation while cruising at 70 mph is normal. But overall it runs fine. I had a question about my oil pressure running between 20 and 40 though. On the stock block it sat at 40 and cruising was at 60. You guys let me know if you can think of anything.

dude you have problems for sure. Your dyno graph looks like a lie detector test. My graphs from every dyno I have done is perfectly smooth. You may want to get your tune checked out by someone else.

Decent vid for your first try 
. Do alot of people have those z06 (z/28) emblems? Def checkout the car as those numbers are VERY low. I wondered why you didn't spin hitting it in first leaving that stop sign...
