That would be good information if he had it.

This isn't going to help his situation. The stock (3.5") pulley set up does not create enough fuel need. Can't hurt I grant you, but not needed and not the problem here.

I don't even have a SuperCharger on my car and mine dyno'd at 445rwhp with just extreme exhaust and intake mods. I would expect more than this from any supercharger or what is the point of them?

Something isn't right. Mine did 450 rwhp with LTs, roto-fab, magnaflow street exhaust. A little cam and fuel upgrades and now at an easy 540 rwhp at 8 psi.

Definitely contact Janetty Racing and get yourself a tune ..... In addition buy the fuel rail upgrade.....The canned tune runs extremely fat ... You will see a difference in HP as well as AF ratio and driveability.... In addition he can tweak certain things and give the car a much sharper edge..... You spent the money for the SC...... Now get thee a TUNE!

Something is wrong there for sure....Was the dyno done right after the tune was loaded? If so your trims have not even adjusted themselves in yet when it goes open. Also check your maf for a weak one. That could be causing some of the issues. There is a thread here somewhere that shows how to identify if it was a weak one or not. But here is a question..Did you change out the lifters and springs on that l99? If not I would sure think about doing that right away before you drop one of those valves. These Edelbrocks have the potential and are pretty hard on the internals for sure. Good luck and welcome to the Edelbrock family....

We want to have it tuned but have had no luck finding a tuner for this car nearby. We are in Mississippi and there is nobody around here that tunes these cars. If anyone knows of one, I'd sure love to get their number from you! Even if you know of a tuner in Arkansas, Tennessee, Louisiana or Alabama, we'd like to get their contact info. We are thinking about taking it to Texas (Dallas/Houston area) to find a tuner. Anyone know of a reputable tuner there?

Also, why does the auto transmission version have a larger pulley and less boost than the manual transmission version? Why can't you use the smaller pulley on an auto transmission car?

Did you have it dyno'd stock at the same place? Otherwise you are comparing your apples to other people's oranges....you can NOT reliably compare dyno numbers with other machines. Yes, 380 does seem low, but maybe your car showed 280hp when stock and now you've gained 100hp...you never know unless you check. Worst case if you didn't, see if the shop has dyno'd any other stock Camaros.

Go to the dragstrip...if you are running 10-12mph faster than stock L99's then you are exactly where you're supposed to be.

You most cetainly can use a smaller pulley if thats what you want. There are any number of people on this site that have done just that. The Edelbrock unit & tune are a 'package' that they sell. But its only a starting point for many. Just know that as you increase boost/power the stresses on the engine and drive train increase as well.
