Re: WS6 have more torque then SS out of factory I never thought it had more torque, But I know that the WS6 ram air system is better designed than the ram air system on the SS, Thats the only advantage ive ever heard of for the WS6..

Re: WS6 have more torque then SS out of factory Ok, my bad I just checked each site and both do have 350 lbs. But on the other hand the majority of the tests I have seen the WS6 comes out quicker. Why is this?

Re: WS6 have more torque then SS out of factory As said with the ram air, The WS6 ram air system is directly into the engine, while the SS does not. I had a mag. article that explained it pretty well, im sure someone here can explain it.. But other than that, there is nothing else to my knowledge.

Re: WS6 have more torque then SS out of factory I believe hp/tq numbers depend on how strong your LS1 came from GM (camaro or firebird), and track times depend on driver/track conditions.
Even though I did outrun the only LS1 Camaro I raced..... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

The only real hp differences can be attributed to a taller airbox opening and more funtional ram air. Those will make 0 difference on a dyno as you aren't moving.
Hope that helps.
