SLP SS's putting down 350 @ the wheels?

5 ltr. beater · 09-05-2005, 04:43 PM

well, i finally picked up my 02 SS a couple of days ago and I was talking to a couple of guys who said that SLP SS's dyno around 350 rwhp. Is this true? Is there a website that talks about the SLP SS's?
and one more thing, how do i find the production number on my SS?

no, e-mail SLP with your VIN

ALL SS's went through SLP doors

Of course its true. There are some that put out 450 at the wheels, but I'm gonna guess they are modded, too

Might just be me, but I wouldn't believe them. Unless SLP had some different grade of the SS rather the the 320hp +/- (at the flywheel).

**BlackTAWS6** · 09-05-2005, 06:46 PM

I would however believe the 350fwhp, just because of my dyno #'s along with many others. If you are dynoing 300-310 at the rear wheels, then at the flywheel you should be 350+ given a 15% loss. Maybe they had their wheels mixed up. Lets just hope they don't think it is at the Front Wheels, if they do, point and laugh. Then tell them to turn the car around.

That '91 5.0 GT is one ugly mustank. Sell that stanking thing and use the money to mod your SS.

350 at the wheels in stock form? not a chance. all SS cars were madeby SLP. in 2002, they were rated 325 HP for a base SS, and then there was a 345 HP package that could be ordered, which was basically an air lid and a catback exhaust. i had a base 02 SS, and it dynoed 306 HP at the wheels. after i added an air lid and a catback (essentially the same thing as the 345 HP package), it dynoed 315 HP at the wheels.
you don't gain a lot of power by adding a catback exhaust to an SS camaro, they already have a 2.75" exhaust anyway. the regular Z28s have a 2.5" exhaust, so going to a 3" catback does free up more power.

my 98 SS came with a 3 inch pipe into a muffler and out a single tip, this was only available for the 98's

you don't have the link to SLP do you?
And by the way, are their any stickies that will direct me to all the LS1 free mods and stuff?
I've been an LS1 member since 99' and i'm pissed that everything is sooo different now and I can't find anything.

My 98 SS (only 17k miles) w/ exhaust, maf, and lid dynoed 306 rwhp and 320 tq. drivetrain loss was at 25 hp, which was figured during coastdown. hope this helps

There was a 02 SS that had 380 rating at the motor. I would have never believed him but I saw the evidence myself.

1: On the instrument panel, right by the tach, it say 380 HP ANN EDT or something along the lines, it has been a couple years.

2: Underneath the hood, kinda like the 345 HP models, it had a special lid that also said 380 HP.

3: And finally, with all my mods, he beat me 2/2. I checked for mods on his side but could not find any. Granted he could have had cam or heads but I did not notice a lumpy idle and with all the other evidence. I know nobody in their right minds would put head/cam over SFC and such like that.

Nothing from SLP came like this!
All SS's went through their doors, but the highest rating was 345 in 2002.

There WERE, however, some specialty SS's made by Berger and GMMG which offered some performance upgrades. I suspect you were viewing one of those. I think they ranged from the base 345 package all the way up to a 600hp 427 version. Someone on here posted another turbo model boasting 1000HP and 835 tq made by neckey or something like that.

Here's the 380 HP 35th Performance Edition SS:

Or the 380 HP Berger SS:

They have several 380 HP versions. Or for one more HP (I guess the Dale Earnhart name gives it 1 extra HP???

):

so i take it that my SS is the 345hp one right? Or is it the 325 version? It does say SLP on my lid.

unless your planning on staying stock it doesn't really matter...unless it makes the resale value higher

Hey, you forgot the ZL1 which they made less than 100 of.
