Of course, RWHP can vary a good bit from one Camaro 6.2L to another. With two identical bone stock cars RWHP could dyno 10+HP different, for whatever reason. Also, readings vary from one dyno to another.

...and I experienced a 10-12hp variance during one dyno session due to engine temps!

Easy way, take the RWHP number and divide by .85 for a stick and .80 with a/m trans.

I've ranged from 411-428 at the ground on different dynes on different days.
I would not feel I was being inaccurate to say my engine made 475hp. That's probably conservative, actually, but it's a nice round number...

Depends on the type of dyno & whether it (and the operator) is accurate, conservative, or optimistic. Those factors can cause a car like yours to have about a 50 hp swing between two shops down the street from each other.
