I was refering to the Camaro being 4,000 lbs. It may be a little bit of a stretch but not much as I ordered a L99/Auto car. I'm assuming the Auto is going to weight in 30#'s heavier then the stick version which comes in at what 3860?

My Z is a 07 that is a hefty pig itself with the iron LSX, Twin Turbo's and auto conversion. I'm guessing it weighs 3500ish. Can do a search on Youtube for LPFSTheFett to see some of the videos. Now the goal is to make the Camaro much faster!

I'm saying CAI=12 Rwhp, shorty's=15 Rwhp, pulley=5 Rwhp, Catback=10 Rwhp, Tune= 20 Rwhp=62 Rwhp....as a package I don't think you'll get quite the same amount as the totals there I'd say like 50-55 RWhp as a total, I'm saying you'd be in the neighborhood of 520-530 FWHP. JMHO.

On a 6 sp manual, 600 rwhp, with 15% drivetrain loss, would be 510RWHP...I've not seen any bolt-on LS3 anythings put that kind of power down with bolt-ons...That's strong bolt-on + cam or blower/turbo @ 7psi territory.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about the supposed Z28 with 550+hp. Which those mods might get him to 600 flywheel hp.

I saw an interivew with some GM exects ant they also stated the SS is the top of the line and they were going to focus on makeing the SS the top of the line not a z28. Also I have seen cars in the past and the SS was top over the z28.
Do you mean from stock the z28 would beat a SS of the same year and both stock?

As far as break in goes, who needs a break in?!? I always try to get my cars to the strip w/in 2 days of purchasing it. I had my Z to two events before it had 500 miles on it. I don't plan on the SS being treated much different. lol

I've also considered converting the car from the IRS to a solid rear axle, I just don't know what's going to be involved with it. I'd personally love to just go 12 bolt and try to save some weight. The car already weights in at 4,000 lbs, goal would be to cut weight as much as possible.

You can get 500rwhp with cam only on LS3's. Here is an example...

right now, the SS is the top model. because there are only 2 models being made right now. if a Z28 is made, it will out perform an SS of the same year.

during the 4th gen years, GM already knew the f-body was on the cutting board. they made 2 models, the v6 and the Z28. one base and one top model. then in 96, SLP started modding Z28's and rebadging them as SS/Z28s. GM jumped on board with that and started pushing the SS package. for the fourth gens, the SS was the top car over the Z28 after 96. there have been other years where the SS has had more hp than the Z28, but the Z28 was never just about power, it was about overall performance. and GM has stated that if/when they build the Z28, that they want it to live up to its hallowed name.

I'm holding that issue as we speak. The stock heads on the LS3 are amazing, and that is one sick Corvette.

the LS3/L72/L98 heads are freaking bad ass. while a full cnc port job would maximize a donkey dcki cam, the stock heads will flow like no tomorrow. the exhaust side could be touched up a bit, but they are already impressive.

Yea I kind of thought the cam size they went with was a bit excessive, but I guess it was all to prove a point. Which they did spectacularly.
