Coolant temp vs horsepower: LS forced induction applications - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Max power on N/A LS motors is typically found around 205-210F coolant temp, according to testing I have read about.

Does this still apply to the LSA and LS9 I wonder, with shedloads of cylinder pressure and heat?

Any hard data on forced induction LS power vs coolant temp?

Dont know, coolant and IAT temps determine timing which controls you HP ...
