Message you first posted, it seemed like you were one of these ppl "can I hit xxx # on the dyno". The dyno # doesn't mean sh*t, not to me at least, but how streetable it is. I've seen smaller HP cars pull hard on bigger HP cars. Boost response, gearing, and tuning all come into play for a good HP/TQ curve on the street. With your cams, I assume you'll be a good street car on stockers. After reading the rest of your responses, it seems like you have a good approach to your mods and your Z. Better to tell your friends to roll on next to you versus show them a dyno number. But if you haven't realized it already, you can certainly squeeze 380HP ASSUMING your engine is tight - have you had compression and leakdown done on your car? I know it was a fresh rebuild, but those numbers are still important.

Good luck, don't tune it to the edge.

In the end, the only thing we regret, are the chances we never took.

My promise:
I will obey the rules of the road. I will not drive like I'm delivering an organ. I will not purposely scare cows. I will not make light of gravity; and I will recognize the speed limits as strict law, and not just ballpark suggestions. Yeah, right!
