Finally got to the dyno. The car actually ran very good, we think we are 90%. The number we posted was 371 RWHP. I thought that I locked up the converter, but after the pulls, I plugged the laptop back in and went of unlock the converter and it was unlocked, I must have forgotten to save. I have been told that the horsepower difference between locked and unlocked on my car would be 20-30 horsepower, so I went on line and below is what I found. I will dyno again in about 2 weeks, and we will see what it really is when locked..If the 20-30 rwhp is indeed correct then I am right at the 400 I thought that I would be. In any case the car ran very well, we still have some tuning to do but I am extreamly happy with the new motor and the numbers we are putting down..
"Dynoing locked and locked can be useful since you can see how effecient your converter is. I have seen a difference of 25rwhp for a lot of my dyno sessions. I would dyno 25rwhp more locked up. If you see a really big increase by locking it up you might look into manually locking it at the track to help your mph."

Good power Wayne. Your car sounded great. I got to decide what I'm doing next. I can't let Don have more power forever. I predicted his car would make 15hp more then mine and it made 16hp more so I was close. My cam should make 10hp more then his, and his heads should make 25 more then mine so 15hp more for his car was spot on.

The power those two Z06s made should be against the law, the LS7 engine is awsome. 427 cubes and 555 RWHP, that's just not right.. I have a 406 gen 1 motor and have replaced heads, steel bottom end, intake, cam, ignition system, headers, MSD, and mabey 400 RWHP..26 less cubes and 170 less horses. Old school, new school---hmmmmmmmm, anyway Nick, Congrats!!!

Decking the heads is worth 25-30rwhp from what I've been seeing so I should be able to get up to 560-565rwhp with some nice heads. The question is just when will I do it.

Yeah, those LS7s were nuts. Nice work Nick and Don. Amazing how easy they can get 100 lb-ft and 150 HP over my semi built Gen I 406.
