SS RRR, exactly, what you are saying sounds dead on.
Usually around 300rw for a full bolt on m6. With the occasional freak that pushes 320rw
autos usually around 280-285rw with the extra drivetrain lose
that was good power for the 1990s
then when you really wanted to feel the sotp difference it was time for the cam/heads and or stroker motor

Factory cat and muffler, you're doing pretty good then. And I have heard the same about the speed density LT1 cars, which wouldn't surprise me, as GM probably wanted to show as big a difference as possible between the outgoing TPI and incoming LT1.

The average I would see out of M6 cars still carrying their cat(s) was around 280rwhp and 310 torque. The torque numbers were always pretty much the same. This was going through at least 10 or more dyno sheets. After exhaust/no cats/shorty headers (LT's were not available yet) they would be around 310rwhp. Can't remember what torque was, but they were all in the very low 13 or high 12 range at ~107mph. Usually with back seats removed. I think bolt-on autos were all around the 260rwhp mark, IIRC. I may not. I don't know since I didn't care about auto cars back then.
These numbers are way more on par with how my car runs. Maybe I just saw a bunch of auto dynos and didn't realize it?
