Default LS1 max power?

I have a 2000 ws6 with just a loudmouth 1 and tonight I raced a 2000 mustang gt with lts full exhaust pulleys and a supercharger and he claimed over 400+ at the wheels and running low 12s high 11s..we raced and I won both times..how is this possible? I figured my car has maybe 350hp to the wheels?

Op, you're making more like 320 RWHP, not 350. You need headers to get into the 350 range. Honestly, if that GT was driven right (or tuned right, not sure which was the problem), he would've pulled you. Good run though!

Here's a vid of an automatic GT with a 2.1 KB that I ran when I only had the mods in my sig minus the headers..50 mph roll.

First off its a 2v. 2nd off it might not be tuned. 3rd its a 2v.

IF he runs low 12s or high 11s he infact would have pulled you.

Ouch, nice kill. BTW, you make probably 300whp at best, maybe a little more if you had a ls6 intake like the 01-02's.

I've seen a few guys throw around Dyno numbers only to find out that the numbers were on race gas with more boost, not the setup they drive around on everyday. Not sayin that's the case here, but it happens.

When he asked how you beat him, tell him 'cause it's an LS1, not that sorry *** 4.6 in those old GT's...those things can barely pull on a V6.
