What LS1 powered vehicle made the most HP/TQ?

Not including any corvettes.....and what was the HP/TQ?

probably all the same power ratings between all the platforms they put it in with small variances because I think GM played around with camshafts depending on the years and obviously 01 and up had ls6 intakes. I wanna say the 04 GTO had the strongest rating at 350 horses, 375 torque?

All of them. Including the Corvettes.

They all tend to make the same on a dyno.
01+ may make a slight amount more.

98-00 do make less h.p on a dyno and my car was proof of that when stock, 289 rwhp, while 01-02 made 300 plus.
10-15 h.p difference doesnt make much difference at the strip though.

So a Camaro SS with an LS1 (right? Remember, I'm a Ford guy) makes the same as a WS6 makes the same as a C5?

I thought C5s were rated at 345 BHP?

the ratings were just to justify the difference in price of the vehicles... the motors were identical, and the actual dynos reflected that.

Better intake tract (CAI) and dual exhaust from the factory gave the LS1 powered Corvette a greater power rating.

When I put a Volant CAI and LT headers with true duals on my 02 Camaro it put down 347rwhp on a DynoJet. The stock baseline dyno was 306rwhp.

damn a 40 horse increase? you must have been happy with that lol

Correct me if I'm wrong but there were minor differences in camshafts in some year ls1's right?

yes... to get rid of the EGR...

but full exhaust and intake it is common to get to around 350 rwhp...
