L99 bolt on hp dyno sheet
Those motors stock show around 490 hp on an engine dyno. So, a little over 400 on a chassis dyno seems right in the ball park. You can Figure about 100hp loss through an A/T drivetrain.

10 LS Engine Myths That Refuse to Die
Verdad Gallardo A stock L99 will not make 500 on an engine dyno. They make around 330-340 in a camaro on a chassis dyno. A cammed LS3 can easily make 500 on an engine dyno. Big difference between stock L99 and a cammed LS3. I am doing these myself on my chassis dyno and on my engine builders engine dyno.

Find Richard Holdners Speed secrets vid on 500hp builds and skip to the 9 min mark, maybe I’m missing something?

I usually respect and appreciate your posts here due to you actually being a builder. But once in a while you get your head in your *** and say $hit like the above. You are a legend in your own mind....

Well, in post #8 I did say Holley tune and long tubes and you continued to question it like you’re the master of all things LS. Sorry, no harm, just saying it’s possible in the right hands even if it’s not yours or Minytrker’s. I did leave out the electric water pump but that not worth that much. Oh yeah, I base my assertions pretty much on experience or from credible people, you?

I already gave credit where due.....
I've seen LOTS of dyno tests, Holdener or otherwise. A good database from which to gain what knowledge I have. I don't need to build engines to do that....

“ I don’t need to build engines to do that” Experience might actually give you some validity, med students work in the hospital for years, tradesmen work in the field for years, neither meet their goal without it, just sayin.

I know every nut and bolt in an engine, and could assemble one out of a tableful of parts and a torque spec sheet.
I still stand on my above statement that one need not be a builder to know how to read/interpret a dyno chart. Just statistics in graph form.
BTW, this thread started out being about the L99, then drifted into the LS3, a very different engine with different cams and compression ratios, plus AFM/DOD and VVT on the L99. Discussion of one has few parallels with the other, performance-wise. The L99 has far more in common with all the 6.2L truck engines, including the cam.

Longtube headers and tuned with Holley HP by the host/producer. A non 525 hp LS3 crate engine from Gander Chevrolet. I see, because you’ve not seen it, it must not exist? It’s 495hp and 490 ftlbs Oh, I left out the electric water pump, that must be it.....

LS3 with HEADERS, ELECTRIC WATER PUMP, NO ACCESSORIES & TUNE...NOT A STOCK L99

L99 is a 5th gen Camaro and Chevrolet SS motor with active fuel management, not sure if it was ever a truck motor, but maybe.
GAtsma you did say “ I don’t see a bone stock LS3 making near 500” in box #11. So you could have made a distinction right there, you kinda doubled down saying that about an LS3..... Just because you pushed a broom around the shop, held the light for a mechanic and learned the names of parts does not make you qualified for anything, really
minitryker, you stated an LS3 with a cam could make 500, that’s common knowledge, I contend they don’t need a cam replacement to do it, and they don’t 495/490 is pretty close. I never mentioned L99, I said LS3 way back there. Yes, I’ll I agree that you did say L99 back there, so I was a little off topic but correct.

And there ya go being a dick again. Have I ever built a whole engine by my lonesome? Nope. Does not mean I haven't done most of the major clearance checking and assembly steps while helping build an engine. I have just never been in a position where I need to build numerous engines.
If you do that for a living, fine. Either that or yours don't live and require repeated RE-building. Practice makes perfect, after a while. Or supposed to... LOL
