camaro 1lE hp ratings

[usmc-ashton]

hey guys im planning on getting a 2013 1LE.
i need the 2 extra cylinders lol
i was wondering how much power it came factory? and if i put all bolt-ons without forced induction without a tune, how much power can i pump out of her? thanks im just curious.

[ss1letx]

426 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque



380hp 362tq to the wheels

To your question "how much power can i pump out of her?"

How much money do you have and are you ready to just void the warranty on the car?

I have a 2014, so not a 13, but on my baseline pull I got 382 at the wheels. That was before I swapped out the motor. I'm at 702 now.

If your not able to tune, stop thinking of adding hp. Adding hp and changing the programming of the car to run optimally and take advantage of upgraded parts go hand in hand. Unless you just want to do it wrong...in that case go intake, headers, and a cam with no tune and see how long the car last

Realistically you'd be limited to intake, ported throttle body, and manifold....basically the air in.

To me when you think of adding hp you need to look at it from a $ per hp gain. And the initial tune is some of the cheapest hp you can buy.

Out of pure curiosity, why remove tuning from your options?

With a tune bolt ons and a cam on the LS3 top out at about 500 to the ground.

There are people who install long tube headers without tuning the car... so. If you add an intake and headers/hf cats you'll add only about 25 more horses to the ground for about 405... same setup with a tune would put you at about 420 and the car would be 'smoother'.

The power number will vary on the type of dyno. But with full boltons and no tune an LS3 will pull 400-420 RWHP. The tune is worth about 10 more but also can minimize torque management. But without a tune you will be dealing with CELs from the rear O2 sensors. No big deal you can just turn them off. But they do bother most owners. Otherwise the no-tune car will run great.

With full bolt-ons and Drag Radials you can run low 12s with some practice.

cool thanks, so full bolt ons without forced induction is around 420...not too bad!

Upon the numerous threads I've read on this issue, I thought several people have gotten around 450 on the dyno, stock?

[Scott@Bjorn3D]

No 450 stock. I got 402 with CAI Intake, NPP and VMAX Throttle Body.

I'm not talking about at the wheel.

Parasitic loss on the LS3 with electronic steering is roughly 10% so 400 to the ground would scale up to about 440 at the flywheel

Was that after it before the 1LE diff was installed.
