Seriously?...dyno stats

So factory horsepower rating is supposed to be around 426, but the only dyno i have seen the SS camaro dynoed at 364 is there really a 64 horsepower loss just through the drivetrain thats a pretty big leap between numbers. I know factory numbers vary from actual dynometers but really?? Check out the link and let me know some input. I know that is still quite a few horsies but I may just be bein greedy.

At the beginning of the video they typed RWHP...426 is at the crank I assume.

lol, yea, least you're closer than me... you ordered a 6 tho i thought? lots of potential with that engine, maybe not v8 sound, but a twin turbo v6 putting out 4 or 500 horsepower would be a monster

Yes I knew that it was at the crank, and you lose it to the RW but I guess 10-15% in my head seemed a little less than actual numbers

Oooh.......OUCH! Didnt think the manual made that much of a diff. Shoot I woulda had knee surgery if I knew that lol!

get a better cam and when they become available, the performance stuff that GM offers will eventually be pretty cheap aftermarket if you can install the stuff yourself.. dunno how hard this thing'll be to work on tho..

Edit: if you get the car and aren't happy with ~350 bhp, you're nucking futs...

Speed Kills · Apr 4, 2009

OMG -

I just watch the video, and I am not embarrassed to say the I have wood! :lol:

A cam, long tubes and headers and will do the trick!

+1 to Dano for the video!

(Please no comments about the size of the wood visa vie Dano, we all know she is very attractive)
