350rwhp stock
50hp cold air, LT's, full exhaust
20hp ignition
40hp cam(docile and streetable as it was stock)
______
460hp

460x.06=27.6hp/lb of psi
27.6hp x 7 psi = 193.2hp
460+193.2=653rwhp

Based on that number and a 4120lb weight, that should get me in the high 10's at 125+mph if traction is not an issue.
Where do you get a 4120lb weight from,The manuel Camaro wieghs about 300lbs lighter.
