You sure about that - considering they were rated lower than that at flywheel it would be tough to achieve that at the rear wheels.

Pretty sure.

It's common knowledge that LS1 cars were underrated from the factory, especially in 2001/2002.

Underated = yes, but not making over 300 to the wheels. Ive owned 3 fourthgens.

lol and I've owned 5 of them. 4 LS1's and one LT1. Every 6 speed LS1 I've owned made over 300 the wheels. My 2001 Firehawk Automatic dynoed 305 to the wheels. My brand new '02 WS6 made 314 to the wheels with 500 miles on it. I've seen many 98-00 automatics dyno less than 300. The 01-02 cars consistantly dynoed over 300 stock to the wheels.

Go to LS1tech.com and see how many 4th gens made over 300 to the wheels.

Race the cars, not the dyno numbers. If they made the same power at the tires, then why do the 2010's go 3-4mph faster in the 1/4 and weigh 500lbs more? Right there tells me that regardless of what the numbers are, the 2010 makes at LEAST 50hp more than the LS1 cars. Dynos are tuning tools, some are high, some are low; depends on brand, calibration, operator, etc, etc. Comparing two dynos is like pissing in the wind, you'll never get anywhere productive.

But for a direct comparison, I have dyno'd MANY stock LS1 cars of all years and they are right around 275-280 at the tires on the same machine that my stock 2010 just make 330 (down from 350 when new....still trying to figure that one out.). My car went 12.7@111mph so it's really making the same output everyone else's cars are We also had a stock auto 2010 make 325...he is a member here and has his dyno sheet up here somewhere; don't think he has gone to the track.

Not trying to argue....just another viewpoint.
