Just out of curiosity I have been searching and looking trying to find out what the HP Numbers are for the Comp TA LT1 compared to Stock, WS6 and Firehawks. I have had people tell me SLP pretty much built them like the Firehawks...ect..ect..ect...its seems as if the Comp's almost became the bastard child, and any sites that had info seem to be down. Any info or links would be helpful. Thanks guys

It was a Firehawk TA basically. All Firehawk options were available. Most were 315hp, if I remember right, because of the exhaust. The stock exhaust, at least 95, was the regular LT1 exhaust with what became the WS6 tips. I want to say those were 305hp but I'm not sure, might have been 310hp.

Yeah, thats kind of why I feel like the Comp T/A feels like that Bastard Child of the Firehawks. But thats cool to know I was on the right track with the Hp numbers.

Does anyone have any information on what SLP Did to the engines of these cars to have them put out more HP then factory stock?

that link i posted above has alot of the information you are looking for...

exhaust, tuning, and ramair was all that was done i believe to get it to the 310/315 fly wheel horsepower nearly identical to the LT1 firehawks

Engine was not touched. As far as I know, the tuning was still stock also. It was just like the WS6, hood and intake got the HP rating up. Then it was the 2OTL that added another 5hp.

& the "Comp T/A" badging added a few extra ponies also.. hehe, just teasing

ninjai_ruken

Lets see, 5hp for the decal on the head light. 10hp for each side badging...yeah that sounds about right...haha

i wish i could get a comp t/a... and it kills me every time i hear about someone buying one and taking the stripes off

ninjai_ruken

Blasphemy!!!! I still have mine. Factory Paint Job also. Although the stripe on the hatch has started to peal. I need to find a replacement.

My parents are thinking of selling one or both Comp TA's they have. One is a 95 M6 hardtop and the other is a 96 A4 T-Top. Both have HOT cam, LT4 heads/intake, SLP mid length headers, etc(most of the normal mods). Both are low mileage and in great shape. Neither of them has seen the track in years. The 95 went 12.2 and the 96 went 12.6, if I remember right.

If anybody is interested, just shoot me a PM.

i have one thats stock as a rock im so glad parked it years ago and quit putting miles on it. and i cant remember where i heard this but someone told me that SLP used to extrude hone the stock ehaust manifolds to give them a little more at the flywheel i think thats where they got that number from.

Just found out mines #145

I can tell you that both of my parent's Comp TA's didn't have extrude honed manifolds. Same crappy manifolds as any other stock LT1.

ninjai_ruken

I wouldn't know, Mine came with aftermarket Headers

I want to say only the LT4 cars got the manifolds. SLP did offer them when they were selling parts. Don't know of anybody buying them though.

A lot of the 96 SS cars got the honed out exhaust manifolds but they stopped that somewhere in towards the end of the model year or very early in the 97 model year if I remember right. Never heard anything about the Comps or Hawks getting these also.

300HP for 95-97 Comp with stock exhaust
315HP for 95-97 Comp with TOTL SLP exhaust

Only the following was done to these cars just like the same year Firehawks;

1. "LT1 WS6 style" Ram Air hood (different than 93-96 Firehawk hood)
2. center stripe and Comp decals on driver's headlight door, doors, and under right tail light
3. Comp TA air box
4. Mobil1 engine plaque
5. numbered console plaque
6. door jamb SLP stickers
7. Speedline Alesio wheels with Comp T/A center caps and BFG Comp T/A tires

Options:
1. Hurst shifter
2. Bilstein suspension
3. TOTL SLP catback
4. 96-97 may have had a Castrol synthetics package like the SS can't remember.
5. 96-97 may have had the Auburn read diff option like the SS, also can't remember.

The Comp box was the same as the WS6 box. Only the 95 Comp said Comp TA over the Ram Air. The 96 and 97 Comp's was the same box with no plaque on the box.
