Very nice! I know that mine was a night and day difference. It looks like those numbers are STD corrected. Can you give us the SAE and the uncorrected numbers?
As far as the kit being not smog legal in California. If you know the right people, or find the right people, you can get away with it. I have at least...
Paxton is in the process of applying for a CARB number, they have all of their stuff submitted. They are just waiting to hear back from the CARB nazis.

Didn't get the SAE numbers sorry. I live in Texas and it was hot as hell at the shop. Temperature was around 95 degrees during the dyno tune. To hit 622rwhp in that heat was pretty impressive IMO. Thanks! And yes, totally night and day difference. I'm really impressed with the drivability of the car. It drives like stock. Then when you floor it, look out! Pulls like a freight train.
What does it sound like? The trend of quieter superchargers these days is quite troubling.. I want to hear the whine!
Sorry to disappoint you man, but ya, the Paxton is very quiet. If you know what you are listening for, you could make it out, otherwise it sounds pretty much like stock.
Oh well.

Killer numbers....i bet it feels awesome.
Headers don't change the fact that most gears in supercharges these days are helical and no longer straightcut.
I would personally look into a built bottom end and Billet gears.
Or......
I probably will do the billet gears soon. I'm not too worried about the bottom end, if it goes, I have the funds to replace it with a built one. There are several blown 5.0s in the DFW area that have survived a while and it's not my DD, so I think I'll be ok.
There is a noticable centri whine from idle up to about 2k and then it goes away. The sound that really gets people is the blow off valve 
Between Paxton tuner kit, injectors and tune mine ran me about $5500 total.
Same here, my bro in law and I did the install.
Great numbers! I ordered a paxton last week. Can't wait to get it on and tuned. Manny will be tuning my car as well. I just need to get a MAF. What MAF are you using?
not smog legal in CA
Call Vortech. When I was there they were talking about getting their smog numbers from the state. They may have it by now.
Sorry, I don't know the technical name. I live in the free state of Virginia.
glad your happy with the setup,
it's a proven combination!
"Beefcake Special FTW!"
