Default Intimidator SS ???

What makes the Intimidator SS a 400HP car? What kind of stuff was added to the motor and exhaust that a 99' Z28 like mine does not have?
I tried to search but not luck. Also what is GMMG ?

Thanks,

Do a search under GMMG and you'll have pages to read.

ok so I went to the site but all that the cars list is what package they have. but not what is in the package. Can you not buy their packages? Only their exhausts?

Every original Earnhardt Intimidator sold new was rated 381 HP. A few have been up graded to phase I, II, and beyond. One is/has received a 427 cu. in. motor.

They did not come with shorty headers,exhaust manifolds were CNC matched and ported.

I was told by a local shop that with bolt-ons (LT's, ORY, Cat-Back, Lid, Free-Mods, Plugs, Wires) and a good Tune... that I should see around 360-370HP

So what else is missing in order to make my car closer to the Intimidator

Mainly just curious to find out really

They also have up graded suspension and brake systems. They're much more then just a 'appearance package'.

I would say 360-370 is the upper limit of what you will see with a full bolt on car. My car dynoed 340rwhp with out a pulley so add a few more to that number and thats prolly what I would expect as a norm for bolt on cars. Drop me a pm if you have any questions considering I live pretty close to you it looks like.

Dale Earnhardt's signature on the gauge cluster.

Also,.... all Dealerships and aftermarket companies rate their mods as "Flywheel HP" NOT "Rear Wheel HP".
So, for all those cars out there with the 380HP on the hoods from the factory....I doubt that they're even putting 350HP to the ground.
It takes a LOT to get N/A (Naturally Aspirated) 400RWHP.

??? Flywheel maybe. I have those mods and pulled 329hp at the wheels, untuned. With drivetrain loss I figure I have in the area of 370hp at the flywheel.

Heads/Cam package will get you 400 RWHP.

Dale Earnhardt's actual signature on the tach... Not all Intimidator SS's had it. Only the ones with the "signed tach option" that were delivered before his death. Just 29 tachs recieved the "Earnhardt" treatment.

Actually there were 30 signed/53 unsigned cars(including prototypes# 1 and 2)There was not an option for his autograph,all the cars were to have had it(production was to be 150 units)All signature cars were low # builds except three in the mid range sequence that were built for Cali customers.Dale had pre signed some dash clusters before he left for Daytona and those were placed in the first ordered cars-no production models were built prior to his passing.(first one's delivered in April) There is quite a story behind these cars and Dale's passion for them(I have been told the only reason Dale opened his Chevy dealership was that his friend Don Yenko had one) The fact even one got built at such a trying time for DEI is a testament to Matt Murphy and the GMMG crew.

Maybe 30 cars were signed, but I was just repeating what I was told by the shop manager of GMMG while I was there taking pictures of all the cars. I took the picture of the tach in this thread. At that point in time he was telling me the story of the Earnhardt cars..he said 29.

Anyways, I'd love to own one of the signed cars someday. So cool.
