Default 2007 C6 Camshaft Upgrade

To all of you who want to know what LS2 2007 cam upgrade sounds like from the exhaust. A shop I deal with has just done one and posted movies on their site.

Listened to the sound tracks. That is one nasty sounding car.

I have a few questions though, hope you can help. Their add says 500 hp
but doesn't define where or how it is measured, ie rear wheel, crank.
Did they use eddy current or wet brake dyno? RWTQ is where it's at in
my book. Horse power is just torque at rpm.
They also offer a header, highflow cats and and x-pipe package.
Was this included as part of the package used for the advertised
HP claims? It would be nice to know as I am also thinking about a
Paxton SC from ECS.

If I understand you correctly it seems you are not concidering 15-20% drive train loss to the rear wheel

For those of you who would like to know RWHP was 410RWHP and 398RWTQ. Temp was 85 deg's and Humity was 78%. Numbers will be higher when the weather is a little cooler. Set up was Haltech Air filter system 224/230 .581 .592 114 Sepcam. Corvette Doctor ported 243 Heads. Melrose long tube headers with Random tech cat's, X-pipe and B+B Mufflers and other tricks. Tuning was as safe tune with the limits not pushed and transmission settings not touched at this time. More power is on the way for this Corvette.
