Default High dyno numbers for a bolt on only car !

I just tuned this car the other day , it is an 02 camaro SS 35th anniversary . Here is what is done to it :

American Racing Headers with catted y-pipe
SLP loudmouth 2 exhaust
NGK TR55 plugs
MSD Wires
New Era Ported throttle body
Powerbond Underdrive crank pulley
SLP Lid with Blackwing filter
Still has the factory LS6 intake , unported , everything else is stock except for the clutch (RAM Powergrip HD and steel billet flywheel)

This is the most power I have seen from a bolt on only LS1 Fbody

365 rwhp and 381 rwtq m this is on a dyno jet dyno sae corrected .

It had 241 stock casting heads on it , I checked . And the powerband is peaking right where it should at 5350 rpms for a stock cam , an ls6 cam would peak closer to 6000 rpms . The AFR is between 12.5-12.8 and timing is between 26-28 degrees , so it is not an aggressive tune , just some key rpm locations for certain events but that's it .

This is the second time I have dynotuned this car , this round we just ported the throttle body and did the underdrive pulley which made 20 more rwhp and 20 rwtq than last time I tuned it with just the headers/exhaust/lid/filter .

Very nice numbers for sure....

Ill have to say they are very close to the top. IIRC, someone around here hit 37xrwhp with all boltons through a 6speed. There was a big thread about it.

In my 99SS M6, I hit 352rwhp/360rwtq with just a MTI lid and Pacesetter longtubes thru the stock catback with a 12 bolt and 3.73 gears.

No dyno tricks were done here , I didn't remove the belt to make a high number or anything like that , just bolted the parts on and tuned it in on the dyno like we always do .

Looks like it eclipsed the highest internally stock bolt on car rwtrq, but not rwhp.
Still stands at 371rwhp, but 368rwhp is very high.

I had one a few years back that was 360 RWHP and 375 RWT and thought the same thing. Crazy good numbers and I had not seen another like it till yesterday. I had a TA that did 358 RWHP and 373(?) RWTwith 3.73 gears.

It does not happen often for sure.

It's because it's a SS 35th. That adds like 10hp alone!! J/k Great results for a bolt on car. I'm really curious to see how it responds with a new cam.
