First dyno ever on my 1LE - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Panda1LE · 01-02-2022, 02:49 PM

Hello all. I have no prior dyno done or any baseline to go by but does this seem right to everyone? My car is a 2013 2SS/RS 1LE. Mods are stainless power lth’s, dynosteve tune with SCT X4, CAI cold air intake, hi flo cats and NPP exhaust. See below for the dyno sheet. Thanks and any info is appreciated. Dyno was a Mustang dyno

The problem is that you don't have a baseline, preferably on the same dyno, to compare.

Overall the curve looks smooth and as long as the AFR was good, enjoy it and drive it.

From my motorcycle experience, mustang dynos read low. I made about 420 with similar mods on a dynojet.

That's right about where mine dyno'd with the same mods, and on a mustang dyno as well. You have about 10 more hp and tq than I did. Drive it and enjoy it as stated above. They are just numbers.

Some dynos are an absolute heart breaker. Id say thats a heart breaker dyno.

Take her to the track see what it can do.

I would also expect more performance from these mods.
Stock LS3 in SS have 376 hp

This is, in my opinion, a poorly executed measurement.

I would not solve 1/4 mile. This is not a place for 1LE.
In drag race, the LS3 (not 1LE) is better geared.

You should have done a few times laps on a circuit before the mods and tune and then again after the mods.

Very true. Just numbers. Still fun to drive. I love my car. I was the only camaro at the dyno today. 99% mustang gt’s

Yes it did feel like a heart breaker of sorts. I thought for sure at least 400. I may do a cam but i really want a supercharger. 3 kids stopping me from spending that amount of money though. Wish i could take it to the track but not sure where to go and no one to go with. Also just had shoulder surgery. Maybe one day i can make it to a track

A L99 with those mods makes around 360-380 and the L99 is already 26hp down from a stock LS3..

On a Mustang dyno ???

sscamaro · 01-03-2022, 10:08 AM

Mine after the LT headers was 413/rwhp and 406/rwtq. After S/C it went up to 546/rwhp and 522/rwtq.

Correction George, Stock LS3 SS is 426hp, not 376. 376 is the cubic inches, or 6.2 liters... lol.

Could there be something wrong with my car then? Maybe the CA 91 octane? The lth’s are not coated or wrapped either (heat?).

426 HP have LS3 on the crankshaft.
Later models with electric power steering perhaps even more.

But stock LS3 have 376 hp on the rear wheels.

That's what I meant

Nope, nothing wrong. I have the exact same LT's, unwrapped too, so no heat is not an issue, or the 91. Most L99's as mentioned above with these mods only see 360-375rwhp. Not sure why some of the other cars are seeing over 400, just isn't feaseable with just those mods. Like I said you made more than I did ON the mustang dyno, so you are good. If it were a dynojet you might see about 10-12 more rwhp, depending. In order to get to over 400rwhp you would need to go the cam swap route to make it breath better and make more. Before the cam with YOUR mods I made 365rwhp and 371rwtq. So you are good. Base line my car put down 332rwhp with just a CAI and x-pipe and v-max ported TB and axle back exhaust. Lost about 68hp thru the drive line. So you are good for what you got I would say.
