I'd say that's probably around 430.

You put those mods on a camaro and you'll have ~500 bhp.

I believe the LS2 is 400ish BHP? Headers + cam + exhaust would be around 80-100 I'm guessing.

The Goats just sound mean though.

430 Wheel HP??

I find that a stretch.

Just had my car on the dyno yesterday.
My car does not have a cam:
Vector Motorsports 91 Octane Tune
Roto-Fab CAI
Corsa Cat Back
Kooks Long Tubes w/Hi Flow Cats
4th Gear Pull
351hp / 353lbs Adjusted

So basically he got 90hp out of cam?
That's interesting since someone local to me also has a similar set up and a cam and is only dyno'ing about 35whp more than me.
I call BS!
Remember that the G8 GT has the L76 motor not the L99 or LS3.

My car is at least 450rwhp and is super silent. I don't think exhaust note tells too much about RWHP.

I had a G8 GT for a while and I am still lurk in that forum. It takes quite a bit to get the GT up to that HP level with just cam/headers/exhaust.

Ahhh I was thinking it was a GTO. Brain fart...

yeah, if it's the G8 GT, then no. If it's the GXP, I can see it happening.

sounds pretty good... I've heard less hp sound louder/meaner, and I've heard more hp sound quieter/stealthy.
