450 hp = ~391 RWHP
500 hp = ~435 RWHP
And with the mods mentioned by the OP, no way to be there...ask for the dyno sheet SAE Corrected.

With the stock camshaft and valvetrain it's almost impossible to go over 385 RWHP or 440 hp+...
And you need an extremely well done tune to achieve those numbers!!!

and NO WAY does this make anything in the same zip code as 500 hp. If it did, there wouldn't be a 427 LS7 engine. Now granted the only way the Z06 engine makes less than close to 520 hp at WOT is with the ignition shut off. A source tells me it is not that unusual for some of the LS7's to make close to 550 hp. That said, the LS6 needs more than some slap ons to make the power they're claiming.
Tell you what - tell the seller that you want to take the car to a dyno and if it makes 495 hp or more you'll pay them $5,000 more than they're asking. If it makes less than 475, they'll come down $5000 off the asking price. Here's a hint - if they agree, you'll save yourself 5 grand.
