Is 131 rwhp a good number for an E-Force with LTs? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Just wanting to know what guys are seeing now that there are more installs out there. Also is it common for the torque number to be higher than the rwhp on an L99?

quick89 · 09-24-2010, 09:52 AM

wait are you saying you car only put down 131 rwhp?
if so there is something seriously wrong a v6 makes more than that
a stock l99 usually puts down between 300-330 just depends on the dyno

i think it's very good numbers with just lt's but i think u can even have higher numbers if your lt's is 2" and have 3"catback system

by the way dont you have any pic's for the engine with the sc right now ?

No, 131rwhp over stock with the mods.

Higher torque than hp is a good thing. It means you have more low end power. I would suspect the VVT on the L99 has something to do with this.

You didn't say if you were running stock boost, or the boost levels you were seeing. The type of dyno, the type of fuel , the baseline and final figures help to see if everything looks kosher.

The baseline numbers were 316rwhp and 317 tq. Went down one pully size to compensate for the Stainless Works Lts. The dyno was a dyno jet and end numbers were 447rwhp and 479 tq. So 131rwhp gain and 162 tq gain. These numbers are low compared to others I have seen but he did tell me there dyno read low. I don't know and don't care to have the best number. I am very happy with the feel after the build. By the way all dod stuff was taken out and new put in for a cam if I decide to go that way. I will be getting it dyno again soon just to compare numbers as it was 100 degrees in the shop the day it was dyno.

My LS3's gain was 130 rwhp (@6,000rpm). That was with Edelbrock's tune and no headers and no CAI.

I know you are just answering his question, but it really needs some more data to make an accurate comparison.

What was the base dyno hp?

How much boost?

What type of dyno?

What octane fuel?

Just a straight number is a difficult thing to judge. Its like saying the answer is "8" . 8 is the answer to a lot of questions, but doesn't mean much all by itself.

kook · 09-24-2010, 03:37 PM

Mine is an L99 and yes it does have a Roto-Fab cai as well with 93 octane fuel. Silver Iceman had his done at the same place I did I think.

sweaver · 09-24-2010, 03:50 PM

kook, Is that with a cam too?... Baseline is slightly low for a l99, mine was
339rwhp...

kook · 09-25-2010, 05:51 AM
