So how does he only lose 15%-16%?  because we know there's no way he only could have made 1hp with all those mods. |
I started doing some thinking after your post... Here are some facts. It appears based on the stock automatic #'s below that the auto lost around 25% IF the starting point was 312... We'll have to test a Stock manual sometime to get some real info. Powertrain loss can vary car to car and 15-20% is a generalization but I've found it to be true in most SS applications.
STOCK 2010 Camaro V6 Auto then with an Airaid CAI -230.51 RWHP and 221.48 RWTQ Stock 242.65 RWHP and 228.76 RWTQ w/Airaid ONLY
Stock 2010 Camaro V6 Auto compared to 2010 Camaro V6 Auto with Airaid, Magnaflow Axle-Back, ARH LT's with catted mid section and Trifecta Tune 34.7 RWHP and 37.89 RWTQ Gain - Different Auto V6's however...
jeff4946 (Red) vs. 2010 V6 Manual with Airaid, LS3 cat-back with Magnaflow tru-x, Magnaflow mufflers and VMAX TB - 3 gear pull as it wasn't tuned and we hit the speed limiter in 4th** Power would have been greater in 4th by 5-8 RWHP**
In the above example jeff4946 made more power down low but lost out up top to a lightly modded V6 manual... The auto in graph # 2 made more power than jeff4946 through the auto. Every car is different and that is why you can't say they all make the same power. These test were all run on the same dyno. I'm not sure if jeff4946's Camaro has a mechanical issue or not but it clearly is on the lower side given his mods. I would like to run it again and remove the breather to see if that is causing some issues, I'm not a fan of those personally...
