lightly modded factory freak ?
lightly modded factory freak ? My car made 318 rear wheel and 327 torque . My car is a 2002 Trans Am with 112,XXX miles . All it has is an LS6 intake , borla adjustable cat back , ported and polished tb , slp lid and free ram air mod . Car is an m6
That honestly doesnt sound to far off. Especially with the M6 where you lose much less of that hp to the wheels. You figure 350ish stock on the motor (lets get real its not 310 like the factory says) with your mods about 25-30 ish more so thats 375-380. with about 15% lost to the wheels on an M6 that makes 319rwhp. (375 x .15 = 56.25 375-56.25= 318.75 or 319ish)
the 02 TA was rated at 310 at the crank and the WS6 package was 325 at the crank but these numbers are always taken with a hugeeeeeeeee grain of salt. GM wanted no competition for the corvette therefore the camaro and TA ls1 cars were rated muchhh lower than the actual numbers. most generally believe the LS1 in these cars after 00' when it got the LS6 intake was rated at 350 just as they were in the vette

a dyno is never going to reveal a "factory freak", it's a tool
that would be like your car having a factory freak because all the lugnuts show 120ft/lbs on your Harbor Freight torque wrench
if it runs a 12.5 at the track you might be onto something

I agree the numbers dont mean anything. A stock 330rwh ls1 could lose to a stock ls1 that dynoed 285rwh. Its just a tool.
Mine did 318rwhp witha borla catback. Actually, it did that through my cutout. I think i had a slp lid also. Had about 160,000 miles on it at the time. Maybe a lil less. i have a m6 also.
