Default 1243 rwhp Lingenfelter LS9 Camaro dyno graph

Thought this might be of interest. Here are the dynamometer results from our LS9 powered 2010 Camaro SS. This is with both stages of nitrous (comes on around 3800 rpm). The other line is the measured supercharger speed (optical pickup on the supercharger pulley to measure belt slip).

We were at a slightly lower power level (less nitrous in the 1st stage) when we ran our 8.997 at 158.80 mph 1/4 mile pass today at MIR.

The vehicle modifications, including the engine modifications, are listed in the thread in the drag race results area.

Congrats on the new best Jason. That's moving for a heavy Gen 5 Camaro!

Wow, it sure takes a ton of power to run 8's in these cars. Would this setup not make up quite a bit of time on a turbo 400?

Default Power for the 8's in a 5th gen

Yes, it takes a lot of power to get these cars in the 8's especially when the vehicle is at full weight.

The 5th Gen Camaro has a much stiffer chassis and much better ride quality and NVH while having better crash ratings compared to the previous models but it is heavier. The 5th gen cars are also larger too and the Cd is no better so they have more aero drag as well. If you have ever seen a 5th Gen next to any of the earlier generation Camaros it is pretty amazing to see how much bigger they are.

We have done some work to reduce the weight of the vehicle (race seat, V6 brakes, etc.) but then we have added weight back in to the vehicle with a roll cage, supercharger, dry sump tank, intercooler water tank, two nitrous bottles, chassis stiffening, 9.5" differential etc.

I am sure we would run quicker ET's with a turbo 400. Despite the power losses to the turbo 400, we might gain MPH too since we are loosing at least 1 mph on each shift and that wouldn't happen on an automatic since you don't stop accelerating during the shift on an automatic.

How does the camaro aero compare to a car such as my G8? Im running a built 416 with twins. So you have a solid dana 60 in that camaro?

Default LPE Camaro SS diff and drag

I don't have information comparing the G8 and 2010 Camaro drag coefficient or cross sectional area. The cross section is probably fairly similar. The numbers I have seen for the Camaro are 0.35 to 0.37.

No, we don't have a solid Dana 60. It is a 9.5" (241 mm) independent rear. It is a custom differential. The one in our car is a prototype billet aluminum CNC machined case but cast aluminum cases are being made and should be available soon. The ring gears are the same size as the 9.5" CK truck differentials.

V6 brakes on a 8 second car? Man you crazy!

That's awesome with a 6 speed. What is the weight of the car if it hasn't been mentioned already?

Thumbs up

OP great car.

Was your car just in GMHTP?

I like 5th Gens but don't think I'll ever own one.
