3" catback exhaust and "ram air" is what's credited for a 305hp rating. It probably was all due to the exhaust since the SLP 2OTL is known for being one of the best flowing catbacks out there.
I dunno.. something worked because the majority of f-bods back in the mid 90's in the DFW area were mild bolt-on or stock and I had no problem beating the majority of them when my car was stock.

some of the late 95's got the '96 dual cat exhaust (like my car) so some of the 95's are technically rated at 285..
How are you guys thinking the LT1 was underrated? The everyday LT1 F-Body ran high 13's and low 14's. Pretty much right where they should have with the power ratings they had. The SLP cars, WS6 included, ran better. Mine ran 13.50@103 when it was bone stock back in '96 at MIR. I was pulling 2-3mph more than the Z28's.
The 'Vette's were rated higher because of the better intake and exhaust.
LS1's on the other hand, were way underrated. LT1's not.

assuming an 18% drive train loss you should dyno about 233whp, which is what most auto's dyno. i dont see how they are under-rated. if they were dynoing 270whp stock then yeah they'd be under-rated
my car with lt's, true duals, and homemade cai (no tune) put down 268whp and 300ft/lbs
