Blownchevy's G8 made 323 hp at the wheel, stock. With 6psi he made an extra 125 hp. That is a gain of 38.7% (125/323 x 100%). So 426*1.387 = 591 hp.
but how different is the 6.0 in the G8 vs. the 6.2? The 6.0 is more detuned from the factory. It's like adding a tune in a G8 gives a ton more power, but I wouldn't expect the same percentage gain on the 6.2 LS3.
