Camaro SS 2010 on dyno makes 364 whp & 371 rwtq !! Vid inside

[99SSragtop]

what did the vette do with the same motor?

[383ss]

interesting... lower than I was expecting, but it really doesn't matter. we all know what the LS3 can do with a few mods based on the vette.

[SS 376]

Much worse than I was expecting, considering the stock LS3 corvette dynos around 380-390 whp, albeit on other dynos. On the other hand, Livernois got 350 rwhp from a G8GXP, so maybe the difference lay in the Vette's exhaust? I'm sure we'll be able to make the difference up in short order.

Your right the exhaust looks and sound restrictive and when you listen to the video you can hardly hear the engine suck in air therefore restrictive, just like the good ol days of 99 -02.

You guys are killing me. Just because the Camaro received a LS3, the same engine nomenclature that went into the Corvette, it does not mean it will duplicate it's power output. There are too many variables. Exhaust efficiency, factory tune, cam profiles, etc. could be, and probably are, diffrent between the Corvette LS3 and the Camaro LS3. Also, atmospheric factors play a big role as well as mileage on the engine at the time it was dynoed.

Those numbers are great, even if they are less than what others have gotten with the same engine in a Corvette. Geez, just be happy you have a Camaro available to buy at all.

Relax, were just discussing...............

The C6 doesn't have that much different it pulls 370 whp

Thanks garagelogic. I totally agree.
Now add those same variables into the Camaro and it would be a better comparison but we will all have to wait for mod reports all in due time....

Hmmmm what type of dyno .. that is definately low if it is a manual tranny ... it should be around 12 % loss ... so that would only be about 415hp at the crank .. also ... that TQ curve is a bit weak .. I was hoping for a bit more low end than that ... oh well .. that is where the blower will pick up the lack of low end ..

There are a lot of vettes putting down 385+ at the wheels .. stock ..

Why should it be 12%?

Why shouldn't it? That is pretty much the standard used when calculating loss for these manual trannys .. hell I think the old T-56 was even less than that..


I'd say the torque is right around where it should be though (except the low end). ... Anyway .. I would say the dyno doesnt matter too much .. if the mags are getting 111mph trap in the 1/4 I would say the power is there ... it would be interesting to see on this dyno, same car / same day ... stock vs different mods .. that would tell a better story ...
