Dont get a velocity stack. Its suppose to be at the wheels.

ls1 put out about 330-345hp at the crank stock. read the stickies

well your rwhp and quarter mile times will depend on whether u are an A4 or M6?

Ummm... no.
310whp T/A and Formula... 325whp WS6 and 400hp to the crank. I have the GM brochure sitting in the living room.

There's no way you'd only loose 15whp through the power train.

The GM rating is at the Crank NOT the Rear wheels
Most F-bodies average between 285-315 RWHP

I agree
12-15% loss depnding on Transmission.
Most Stock F-bodies should be around 340-350 FWHP

WS6's, FireHawks, and SS dont make any more noticable power than normal Z28's or T/A's. The higher power rating is for marketing. So all LS1s are making 345hp give or take. And generally most manual car loose about 15% power to the wheels, and autos around 20%.

CRAGER

M6 = 12% drivetrain loss

A4 = 18% drivetrain loss

325 hp is flywheel hp rated from factory. w/ all mods u mentioned installed might give you 320+- rwhp. at strip maybe .20 faster. depends on weather since horsepower is about +- 15/20 gain from mods. vararam is a waste, other mods mods u mentioned will hwlp some now and more with other mods but, vararam. you'll .

BTW - GM rated his 99 SS at 320.

98-00 SS = 320

01-02 SS = 325

cowboysfan

forgot to mention. hp rate depend on ram air for ws6. not sure for camaro ss.

"CRAGER" reminded me of this"

CRAGER

lol yes

GM rated the f-body like this:

98-00 Z28/Formula/Trans Am 305hp
98-00 SS/WS6/Firehawk 320hp (better exhaust - ram air hood)

01-02 Z28/Formula/Trans Am 310hp
01-02 SS/WS6/Firehawk 325hp (better exhaust - ram air hood)

Now for the SS and Firehawk you could get more options on the Dual-Dual which made them 330hp (98-00), 335hp (01-02). Dual-Dual with the SLP lid (02 only) 345hp.

Peace,
Craig.

thanks guys, and its an a4 by the way. the hood on my car isnt functional but it does have the wu8 code on the door. i believe thats the code for ss camaro. but it doesnt have ANY SLP on it except for what i ordered. the vararam is that bad huh? i didnt know

msd wires = ok if your stock ones are bad, but not needed = no HP gain.

velocity stack = snake oil = no HP gains.

slp lid = a lid is a lid is a lid get the cheapest you can find = 5-7 hp gain.

LM exhaust = good, loud but good. = 10-15 hp gain.

KN filter = up for opinions = 0-5 hp depending on who you ask, I saw no gain.

You want to go faster in the 1/4? Start with a higher stall converter.
