I think I've seen a few dynos from 2009 posts where people were under 300 rwhp. Probably before the glorious fuse pull was discovered. The year 2009 BFP (before fuse pull, lol)
Hahaha, I like that! BFP.... The scary days of underpowered stock camaros in the years BFP.

And I agree, 315 is wayyyyy low, I baselined (after a fuse pull) at 382. Oh well, I'm just glad my camaro isn't and never was at 315rwhp.

So long my wallet permits. D@mn! I got the itch to mod I need a fix!
Throw that thing on there! It'll take care of the itch!

It's a very common misconception that because it had a "Lid" that it works or performs better, which is just not true. In allot of the vehicles we have tested, the systems that have a "lid" actually flowed quite a bit less air.
