Do I have 325hp or 345hp on my '02 SS 6spd?

Giving this kid an SS Camaro is like giving a two year old a ten inch dick.. neither one can handle what they have and both are pointless.

Have you put some more decals on this one to make it go faster ? Ill guarantee everyone reading this forum that unless this kid gets someone with taste to modify his car that this will be the most hideous and most tasteless styled SS you will see in these forums.. just as his busted ass V6 you see in the icon and on his cardomain was the laughing stock before :true:
:Puke:

HAHA. dude dont you know that every sticker adds 5 hp?? cmon!

Has anyone mentioned that it is an insignificant amount of a power difference in reality?? Its nice to have, but in terms of modding, bragging rights start far north of those numbers....to the wheels.

So do not get hung up on the stock crank numbers. Your best asset is its condition, mileage, and whether it consumes oil (btw....not all ls1's siphon oil...so keep an eye on the engine's performance).

it runs great, nothing is wrong with this car! 99% perfect car, just like one door ding and that's nothing to worry about at all hahaha I keep tabs on it at all times. Very happy to have it.

IVE RUN INTO A CERTAIN ORANGE SS AROUND MY HOMETOWN....IT LOOKS LIKE A REAL SS,AND THE EXHAUST LOOKS REAL TOO.ALL THE REAL BADGES BUT SOUNDS LIKE SHIT...AND HE TRIED TO RACE ME AND I WAS 1/2 THROTTLE WHILE HE WAS WOT AND I HAD TO LET OFF THE GAS TO KEEP WITH HIM.....HE SAID ITS AREAL LS1 SS 2001---MY ASS IT IS,,,IM SURE ITS A V6 CUZ MY 02 STOCK SOUNDED 5 TIMES BETTER THAN HIS AND WOULD HAVE SMOKED HIM BONE STOCK......WHATS WITH V6 MAROS AND STANGS WANTING TO LOOK THE PART BUT ONLY TOO HAVE REAL GEARHEADS KNOW THERE SECRETS AND FALSE ADVERTISEMENTS...IMEAN SHIT WHO ARE YOU ALL FOOLIN....YOU CANT FOOL A FOOL...I BET MY GIRLFRIENDS IROC-Z 350 WOULD EAT THAT CAR ALIVE...I HATE YOU YOU SUCK ASS AND LOOK ME IN THE EYES NEXT TIME I SEE YOU...FUCKIN LYING POSER:cuss: :Ot:

hahahah ooooo kaayyyyyyyyy... I've seen an SS before at a car show and it had all the badges and it actually had an ls1 looking engine in it, but I don't think it was an ls1. The guy always showed it with the hood 1/4 of the way up and once he rolled by me and my girl revving up and I was like yuck, my 6 sounds better than that. I wonder if he had (the wrong exhaust) or something. it was a 4thand1/2 gen SS but sounded less v8 than the 6 I had. I wonder.

Maybe that guy needed a tune up or a cat or something. One time in my 6 my catalytic converter was clogged and the engine reved but the car wouldn't do over 50 or 60 that night.

I have not read the whole thread but your wrong.

First look for the Y2Y option code, or the SLP sticker ont he passenger door.

Our NBM 2002 started as a 345hp package. Basically just the Blackwing lid/filter and either Dual/Dual or CME exhaust. We have the BW Lid/CME.

I know the automatic SSs had like 325 on the engine and 280-300hp on the wheels, but what is 335hp fly wheel on a 6spd? 6spd is supposed to transfer more power to the ground, right?

Why don't you dyno it and find out instead of guessing what HP/TQ you got.

no way that 325 motor will end up being 300 rwhp..sorry do the math, we are way underestimated....my homies bolt on 04 cobra tried to run me from a 1st gear roll at low rpm...hes got 440 rwhp on a dynojet...but mine has 380 rwhp on a mustang dyno......omg he shit when i jumped 3 cars on him in 1st gear....and i kept 3 on him til we quit in 3rd....peak hp means shit..and his eaton definately only has a sweet spot..thats for sure...no even curve..sorry. and whats with the new m3..said to have 330 hp....definately not to the wheels...and if to the motor id expect about the same as an ls1 300 to the wheels stock...but they dont make that and there not really that fast.....but they all seem to say thed beat me to 150....no fuckin way your gonna pull back 8 car lengths just cuz thats where you pull harder..sorry again...IM NOT SURE HOW THESE HP RATINGS FROM THE FACTORY REALLY REFLECT THE ACTUAL POWER...GOT ME ALWAYS GUESSING. BUT the ls1 is definately underrated.

If I knew where a dyno was around here I'd go, but I don't.

also that thing about hp can't always be looked at as a reflection of how fast something is. weight is important too

WTF? Have you ever heard of google?:denied: :ughlaugh: :hahano:

sorry my friend gotta go, you look it up for me

If you want to know what the SLP added options are and what the rated HP package is, which is the total advertised after production and SLP mods, then open up your passenger door and check the SLP Second Supplier Option sticker. It will give you the advertised HP rating.

Everyone is correct in their statements about the concern about HP. However, that being said, let me add my one liner here. It is not the HP that matters, it is the torque and the ability to transfer the available power to the ground without burning off 10,000 miles of rubber.

Hope this helps some.

I put the SLP options on myself for cheaper. ;)

Check the SLP advertised HP gains. This will give you only a ballpark increase since unless you Dyno, the true output will never be known.. You would also have to take into consideration what the actual HP rating of the car is directly from GM since they most always under rate the HP for insurance purposes during any given year... Or so I've read in multiple sources over the past 30 years....

I have been reading all this, I just picked up an 02 Firehawk, called slp, and was nice to them and they were nice to me, thats how you do it, anyhow, I gave them my vin, and they told me exactly what was done and that i have the 345 h.p. setup. Its an A4 f.y.i..Luv It!!
