Stock 96' lt1 car Hello all, car is a Trans am ws6 6speed, car was dynoed with an air foil, and hypertech pp... Wondering what kind of power that makes at the motor. Also-the shop said the dyno was notorious for making a little less power compared to dynos around...

I would imagine with free mods, ewp, no muffler this thing would do 300wheel, maybe even hit 13.00-?? Its best to date is around 13.28 or so.. No sway bar, no filter, no muffler, no seats, Drag radials. There should be a timeslip or two floating around here with a member somewhere. Maybe if it was a formula body? Im always "ify" on bringing this thing up past 6k but the times drop more and more the more and more I rev. What kind of problems damage can i see with overreving this thing?

Its a strong one. My 96 WS6 made 274/307 with K&N, 160 t-stat, HPP+, and 4.10 gears. Ran 13.18 on the GSC's.
You don't need to go past 6K on a stock LT1. The tach's were usually off a couple hundred, so I wouldn't shift past 6K on the tach.

Going try and get this thing into the 12s
with basically nothing.. Maybe slicks, skinnies, modify the "water blocker" in the hoods ram air, and tune. I Dont think it would be the 1st? Thread Starter

I use and an aftermarket tach also, and they seem to be with in 0150rpm of each. 13.1's deed hookin on those gsc, stock tires suck and i have little problems hooking up with 2600-3600rpm launches. Maybe ill sail in with a gear? 3rd loves 6300pwr ***** and its held up fine so far.
Great numbers. My old man had a 97 Z m6 with a gutted airbox (only mod) and he used to out run or run even with ls1 cars when they first came out. Granted a lot were autos and they weren't quite broken in yet. I agree that there are some factory freak lt-1s out there and all of them are sticks, lol.

I made 303 rwhp with a hot cam, slp shortys, cai, cat back. Of course mine was an auto though. Made 259 with catback only.
and your 285 I would guess to be 335 hp crank. And then you can go ahead and add about .1 hp for your ram air.
