They are not factory plug wires, they are aftermarket, hence they are a mod and thus rendering the car not 100% stock. That's along the same line of saying "my car is all stock except for ______ ." That word "EXCEPT" renders the car not stock anymore, be it a tune, headers, cat delete, wires, plugs, wheels, etc. Floor mats and other menial things? Who cares.

Furthermore, you have no clue about me either. I can guarantee I've owned more Camaros then you, and unlike most, I do most of my own work. I've tuned cars, and own HP Tuners software as well. I know what I'm talking about in regards to this.

Also, when did I say your numbers are low? That was another post, not mine. If anything I was trying to help you out by telling you dyno numbers are not a cure for all, and to just use them as a tuning tool as they are full of variables and you decide to jump down my neck like I called your car a POS or something?
Your point taken... The best of friends argue from time to time. And I fully agree the dyno is a tuning tool first. All other #'s are subject to standing on its own. This graph shows that my #s are in the ballpark and that's all I tried to state in my OP.

I did....421/441 to be exact

ZERO MODS

Correction was standard
Dino Dynamic
5 gear if I remember correct

And so far the fastest Stock one around KC

Some of you are just simply ignorant. Yes Dynojet corrects for weather conditions. What the Dynojet or any other dyno out there can't correct for is how the ECM or tune responds to a set of conditions.

The OP didn't list the ambient air temperature at the time of the runs but I'm going to assume it was hot like it is everywhere this summer. For you ignorant people out there the ECM will apply a timing adder based on IAT readings. There is one temperature range where the adder will be zero. Below this range it will add timing, above it will remove timing. If the IATs are high enough to subtract timing the torque output will be reduced and there isn't a damn thing the dyno SAE correction can do about it.

So comparing dyno runs across very different weather conditions is not apples to apples even if you do apply SAE correction. It can't account for how the tune responds.

OP... your car is right where it should be.

Those of you comparing readings from different dyno manufacturers altogether... you are being silly. The comparisons have no validity.

Dyno's are for tuning, track time is where the balls hit the back seat. So, dyno means nothing in the real world, although I guess we can brag about it if we want. Dyno's are different, tuners can make it look better then it really is, so lets let it ride and not bitch at each other on who knows more then the other.

92 degrees and humid as hell. Also the first pull was nearly ZERO cool down. Just the time it took to put it on the dyno which was about 20-30 mins. The second cool down was about 30-45 mins..

It's not the 60s. Build tolerances are tight. All camaro SS cars are going to perform within a few percent of each other. No ones car is special or a factory freak. Only bad gas, differing dyno procedures (how tight the car is strapped down, tire pressure, calibration, conditions, engine temp at time of pull etc) .

Every properly running camaro SS is going to perform damn near the same. The end.

Sweet lookin car OP. Don't get hung up on the #s
