Got to be hard getting down from that truck and into your Camaro...

I went from an H3 into the Camaro and it took me weeks to get used to being that low in traffic.

I won't even touch this one....

Now... just listening to it it almost sounds like he has it in 3rd gear... it turned up really fast.. and I don't know much about dynoing a car... but is it possible that could jump up the numbers slighly? Considering most are done in 4th gear, WOT from 2000 rpm.

I am the one running the dyno guys. I have dynoed a "few cars" here at lethal racing.
I can assure everyone I am very familiar with the camaro and I am certainly aware where 4thgear is on the camaro and that is the gear it is always dynoed in. I dynoed 24 cars that day.

It is clearly shown on the dyno sheet that the correction factor is 1.01. This is using the SAE correction factor in which we always use. The .01 means that the dyno added 1% to the numbers to correct for the weather. This SAE correction is the industry standard.

Again, I can assure you I am fully capible of dynoing a camaro properly
ALL camaros are run in 4th gear from 2500-red line.

Yep, we talked about this car putting down a high number bit I am confident this is correct. We dynoed two other camaro we did work on previously about a year ago. Saturday (during this same dyno day) they both put down within +/-5 rwhp of their dyno #'s last year

Of course you are going to say you know what you are doing. But if you didnt know what you were doing would you even know to be able to tell us? You just dont know what you don't know...

Im not calling anyone a liar im just saying that 1LE doesnt actually make 473 hp at the crank stock thats all.

But stranger things have happened I suppose...

I don't think anyone is judging your abilities.... but I would like your opinion on the numbers atleast. If you're dynoing that many cars.... I'm sure you've seen a fairly consistent value for stock cars and bolt-on cars... but where does this stand in terms of those? what are some of the other freak numbers you've seen from a stock car?

[BLACK10]

I'm just as surprised at the numbers as everyone else is, but it did make the same numbers back to back.Ihave seen a stock SS make 390rwhp before. Once the cam was installed the numbers were right in line with other cars. Not sure why it made that much power.wre see it all the time. Some cars are strong, some are not. Just wanted to make sure everyone knows that it was dynoed properly

Thanks Nick. I'll ride back and we'll try it again. Hope to get the cai and long tubes on soon. It was really cool to see all the bad ass rides there Saturday.... and free food never hurts.

Thanks for coming out and letting us play with your awesome car!

I offered the information I am not in a position to explain it. That is why I come here, so more knowledgeable members can be dicks and throw flames.

Hehe, nothing like a nice panty wadding session over a dyno run..

Sounds like you received a gift from the chevy guys.. it almost seems like they threw in a Hot Cam for the fun of it.. that makes up almost 50hp.

At any rate, who cares if anyone believes you, or why your car performs that much better.. they just pissy because you have a strong runner.

[CWI]

I'm not going to disagree with the dyno but whether shifting up. down or sideways breaking loose at 70 in 3rd is hard to believe. I have 450 RWHP and it has shown a little tire slip at 6K rpm a couple times with good cool ambient air. Never at 70 though.

I would simply get another dyno for comparison sake to back it up or just

[toehead93]

If his tires were copl and not warmed up they would be not so grippy.

There's already been another topic going around and the reason is the lighter wheels and tires u had on. Less weight and when the numbers were put into the dyno nobody accounted for the less weight

Well that explains it. These wheels are only like 22 pounds less than stock SS wheels total.

I don't know why with all the smart people on this site no one can come up with an example that supports the numbers.... not one.

MT test just had the 1le a half of second faster to 60 and in the quarter. How much more HP does it take to make that happen on a car that weighs about 4k with driver?

0-60 4.2

1/4 12.7 @ 111.8
