Cammed SS vs Turbo SS Played with a turbo SS on county rd 42 in Burnsville, MN at 9:30 on Monday night. It's a badass ride! Said he had it on the lowest boost, so I was able to hang with him. We ran from about 40-100 and 15-100 or so, wasn't watching the speedo since there were stop lights coming. Basically neck and neck the whole way and he never pulled an inch on me, I thought maybe I pulled just the slightest bit, but hard to tell. I had about a 1/4 car on him but I may have jumped first. I should have been slaughtered but then he said he was at around 400rwhp, which I am too. Different state plates but lives in the area. Cool guy, had a good time but wasn't able to talk much cuz I had to get home.
So does about 400rwhp sound about right on an LS1 turbo? Not sure if he had bolt ons. Should I have been able to hang with him like I did? I am thinking he would have pulled me in the triple digits! I must have more power under the curve.

Lol yeah I'm putting down about 387rwhp, no heads, tr224 cam. I thought I did pretty well to stay in front of him. Even if he had the boost turned way down, it evened it up or else I would have had some trouble. I would have no shame losing to a full boosted turbo SS, and he was pretty shocked I hung with him I think, he asked if I had heads. So I'm sure he went home and cranked up the boost!

OP, if lowest boost setting is 5psi, on a stock motor, 400rwhp is probably right... but i honestly have no idea what the lowest boost setting is... i'm not much of an STS guy...
but i'm on low boost!!
Nice Runs!!!

^I think it depends where the boost comes from and how well the power adder is matched to the setup. I bet a positive displacement blower would make more power sooner...

Thanks, just wanted to know if that was pretty usual since I don't know much about how much power turbo's make on low boost. Or if he just wasn't shifting well or what. But according to most it seems right on.
