Dyno numbers vary greatly from dyno to dyno. Many shops also use STD or uncorrected numbers which can be considerably higher.

As mentioned, what matters is how well your car runs.

My L99 ran 12.16 with 352 rwhp (bolt ons, stock converter, 20" drag radials).

These "400+ rwhp" L99s aren't any faster than the guys make 360 rwhp on more conservative dynos.

That's why track times will tell you a lot more about a car's performance than dyno numbers. To be honest, dyno number don't mean anything to me if the car doesn't have track times to back them up.

Yeah I hit 382 at the rear wheels with my first dyno day. I hope my CAI and exhaust push me a ways over 400.

OP you must have an L99?

Vmax Intake, Vmax TB and Rear end mods to keep it hooking

I couldn't agree with you more! I just put a set of Nt05Rs on my Camaro and can't wait to see what happens. I'm running 12.4s with the same rwhp as you, so I'm expecting big things from these DRs....lol. I honestly have never been beaten by any LS3 with the same mods or even more and they make over 400 rwhp.
