I'm not a human dyno, but some basic knowledge will get you close to your power #.270-280 stock bhp
5 psi boost to give you 35-40% increase (very rough guesstimate/many variables)
Your 103 trap speeds + the weight of your car and I'd guess 365-390 bhp which would be anywhere from 310-330 rwhp.
This makes more sense as that is close to what a stock C5 (non Z) would put down to the ground. The few extra pounds the Camaros have would give you a mid 13 sec pass at 103.
Again, many variables missing, including the tune etc. but I'll bet the above estimate is fairly close.
Either way, have fun with your ride as you accumulate more go fast goodies.
And, get out there and Rock, and Roll the Bones.

Tonights the night!
Hi everyone,
Tonight my son and I are going to Sacramento raceway be cause he wants to say he killed a Z06 to his Camaro buddies. Its going to be fun
but son I'm going to give you a spanking.
It might be close since I just got the Z, and will be going easy on it until I get use to it but the z06 is going to rule!
And I'll still love ya when its over.

if did is on street tires and new to the z06 game and has his traction control off, hes gonna produce some smoke too..
and suprisingly, lt1's seem like they dyno pretty good. my buddy has a 94z28 w/ exhaust and gears only.. he dynoed like 275rwhp. if you gain 100rwhp w/ blower, ur knocking on 400rwhp's door with a few more mods.. and he has suspension to go along with it. which helps fbodys a lot.
just my .02

I had a friend with a 94 stock LT1 six speed vette supercharged with an exhaust and k&n. He ran 6 lbs boost as well as because of the high compression ratio of the LT1 that's all that was reccomended on the stock motor. His best mph at the track was 113 mph. Now the f-body weighs 150+ lbs more than the c4. I hate to say it but in my opinion the 4.10 gears are the worst mod you can do unless you have serious power, high rpms or if it is strictly a track car. The blower will give tons more torque and 4.10 gears is helping put all that to waste.
In the end it seems like the Z has the advantage if dad can put it to the ground. if the Z has sticky tires (thought he said street tires) then I'll give the nod to the z. when dad sees him pull away he may panic and stomp on it making for nice smoke shows
He might start to pull top end but it will be over by then.
cmon guys wheres the results !!!!!!
