Using this:

http://www.dragtimes.com/horsepower-...lculate+Torque


and entering it at 5000 rpms (I inputed 313hp and kept playing with the RPM's untill it equaled J. Brown's 330lbs.) I got a flywheel torque rating of:

362.39 lb-ft

SO, I would put 360 lb-ft on the plaque and call it a day

If you want more accurate go to a friggin dyno....

I just read someone who said it was 345hp/345tq but that makes no sense...

Actually, this post should have been moved here:

...a long time ago. Those guys will know, they drive the cars.

Just called SLP, they said it brought it up 20 lb-ft of torque but he (Joey) didn't remember what stock torque was that year....

I looked it up, it produced 340 lb-ft of torque add 20 lb-ft and it brings you to the previously mentioned rating of:

360 lb-ft

So there you go .

I want an accurate (Not 350 to 360ish) depiction of the factory SLP ratings for an appearance mod without having to spend $50+ for a dyno in addition to the $40 plaque.

well all factory rating are at the motor....

aren't all the base LS1s rated 340-350 at the flywheel? GM just said that the LS1 F-bodies had less power so that they wouldn't **** off loyal vette owners that only know HP numbers and nothing else.

No some cars had extra SLP options that increased the power. Stock SS and WS6 cars are rated at 325hp. Some cars had the upgraded SLP exhaust and Blackwing airbox lid and which were 10hp each. Therefore some cars with both like mine were rated at 345hp.

Umm what is so different about the LS1s that came in the Vettes that gave them 350hp.....? nothing. They changed the numbers around to please the loyal vette owners. Why do stock LS1 f-bodies dyno around 305-310HP to the wheels when most are rated at 305-325 at the flywheel?
