You need to go to ls1tech.com and read the sticky I think called So you wanna go fast?. It'll tell a noob anything he needs to know.

Or you could grab a cup, glass, or bottle of you favorite beverage, sit down and read every post on the first few pages of this section. Then use the search function and look for more info on things that interest you.

Whoa whoa whoa.... Stop right there, bucko. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Can I Get A Straight Answer If The Item Works Or Not

Yes lids add HP to our cars. It's usually the first mod people do along with a catback exhaust. Allows more air into the motor which creates more HP. The difference in the Z28 and SS is mostly cosmetic, SS got the hood and spoiler along with a better exhaust and springs, but as for performance they are the same. And yes, make use of the search feature on here, it will answer a lot of your questions. Nice looking car you got there.

Nice looking indeed.

What's your location? Maybe somebody would be willing to help you out if they are close by.

Ok, you don't even have a lid and you have your car listed in your sig as being 330hp?

I'm sure thats to the fly. And all ls1's bone stock have about 340-345 to the crank anyway. So he just underrated himself. No biggie

Perfect place to start.

Yes, but who puts a HP # in their sig for a car that apparently has never been dynoed?

Setting the standard at going off what others have done, I could claim ~380 whp based on what other people have dynoed w/similar set ups or calculate hp at the fly say ~430 hp. I could also claim that I could run 12.9X stock and 11's with my current set up since people have, but I don't. When asked, I just tell people I haven't dynoed or been to the track w/the current set up yet. IMO don't claim it unless your car has done it.

IMO who the hell cares ? nice lookin car E-DUB

Just about anybody who works hard to mod their cars and spends the money to verify hp numbers doesn't care for people who post bullcrap guess numbers in their sig. like they are real numbers.

As stated before if you know the numbers then fine. If you don't know them then don't guess. It's not a sin not to know. I had my car for years before I dynoed it, not a big deal.

if you dont have a this lid in your car get it!! then look into a cold air scoop, also by slp. it all makes a difference in HP.

there are better cai setups for the LS1 than the SLP unit....SSRA is probably the best.

but in all reality...his SS hood is fine for now i would say.


as for a lid:

a lid is a lid is a lid....they all function about the same. the biggest difference is appearance and cost. go with what you like or can afford.

the advantage of the lid is that they don't have the small plastic "fins" or "ribs" inside like the stock unit. which allows for smoother flow. also the outlet of the lid is much more open and free flowing than the stock unit.

the lid doesn't really "Allows more air into the motor which creates more HP"....its more like it allows less restricted flow of air into the engine, which allows it to work more efficiently...thus increasing hp.

typical dyno gains with a lid are about 7rwhp...give or take 1hp.



don't let the sqwabling above me discourage you from asking more questions.

Thanks Already Installed Now I'm Tryna Get All Dat Other **** Yall talking bout and to the guy that said that i aint know the hp and that it was wrong **** that guy under u said 345 bone stock so let me change it haha....:D......haha....and im in vegas and they have a camaro club and i might join...but i heard theres mostly 1st and 2nd generation and sum 4th generation cars and a little bit of 3rd.....and the other day i was at in n out drive thru in my car and it so happens it was the day that the chumpstangs have a car meeting in in n out....so they came all hard mostly than new bull**** mustangs and 1 5.0.....so once they seen my car i just started reving back looking at them and they would not turn....the only person that turned was this one gurl that was in a green mustang....haha...**** was funny because it looked like when i started reving my engine they were scared then a mug....haha....thats my story....haters keep hating and no sex getters keep whining.....haha....im out im sleepy as ****.....thanks for the help and keep feeding me more food for thought mayne....AND by the way....my hood is not an SS hood dawg

I got another story also...but that one is for tommorrow cuz i am sleepy

Prove you are making 345 hp. I've seen bone stock LS1's make anywhere from high 280 whp to 318 whp. Which are you? Whats next? Saying you ran 12's stock because somone else did?

as for the SS hood.....sorry bout that....misread something...thought i saw you had an SS...my mistake.

Chill out, folks. There's no need to take it to a hateful level. I don't want to start X-ing people. :mad: :mad:

:lol:

:confused:

i don't remember what i put that needed to be edited....sorry bout that mike

Ayo Kraest...I'm Koo...Look Back Sum Pages And Check Who Started It...HaHa...People Always Have Something To Say U Know

Go ahead and look back. I raised the BS flag on your dyno numbers which is well within the rules of the forum.

It isn't my fault you make up numbers. Been to the dyno yet?

Now U know Who Started It Kraest....**** This ***** Doe....I'm From Watts Los Angeles...Look It Up And Then Think About ****....HaHa...Watts Up!!!

The problem is that I caught you making something up and you got bent out of shape and started cussing and making personal attacks instead of just reporting true numbers or saying you just don't know. all you had to do was be honest about it all.

Why should I care where you are from? Is Watts supposed to scare me?

It's honestly not a big deal.

He's putting 345hp LS1 5.7L in his sig. Well, that's what it came with in 1998 in the Vettes and F-bodies, even though it was underrated in the F-bodies. They both dyno the same stock.. around 290-300rwhp.

No harm.. no foul. :shrug:

kraest yo mayne...you is right, 345 be a good numma fa da powah. No harm yo, you peeps is needs sexin. I'm from goochland Va. look it up and see what you find. I'm out.....I got a LT1 anyway and it be got more power and be faster yo so fogetchu fools

By that reasoning everyone could say their LS1 equipped f-body ran 12.9X because someone else did, yet most people can't drive that well and not all Ls1's are even capable of it. See the point? There has to be a line drawn some where. IMO its at claiming unkown numbers.

IMO thats as fictional as my sig. I was educated in science and work the chemical industry. Its either a real number that you can prove or its BS. Engineering is the same way.

I'd have to disagree. The guy isn't claiming any RWHP numbers... he's simply stating what GM made public.... the LS1 came with 345 horsepower or an underrated 305 horsepower. Would it make you feel better if he put 5.7L LS1 305 underrated HP? :D

Running your car at the track is completely different. I've seen LS1s run anywhere from mid 14s to high 12s stock. Hell, my cousin JUST got out of the 14s with his LS2 GTO after installing a CAI and a muffler... before those mods, he was running 14.20s. If you ask anyone else, it should be a low 13-second car bone stock. It all depends on driver skill and track conditions.

Why can't we all just get along? :lol:

What you fail to realize is that a number like a chemical is definative, exact, precise, what you have is what you have. People are NOT!

So what...the number is what came from GM. And if he was inflating his #'s......you think he's the first and only in an internet forum to do it? Even if his sig is off, what is it off? Maybe 10 flywheel HP? You got sand in your V@g!na for 10 Flywheel HP??? Who are you anyway to be telling ANYONE to prove their HP? I dynoed at 469whp but I put 470 in the sig....OH OH! I'm screwed now.

If people posting/saying/claiming..etc things that aren't true bother you...then you just better shut yourself from the whole entire population. Cuz guess what? It happens everyday around you in one way or another.

I got almost over 10 hp on the dyno from a lid and only.. And you really hear it sucking the air in. It works

Talk about another person that wants to make this personal. I must have touched a nerve. :)

I never said to prove it on here, as in post his dyno numbers. I meant for him to prove it to himself instead of just generalizing about what he thinks his car may do. My point is, why claim something he doesn't know his car is even making? I've seen a few f-bodies that only open their throttle 80% from the factory. Do you think they'll dyno as high as the others? Do you think a newb to LS1's would be able to tell this by their butt dyno?

Ok, so lets examine your 10 hp statement. Well, lets say most LS1's run low 13's. Thats a good generality. Now lets apply your standards. Whats another tenth or two? Hell, its only a tenth or two!! Lets say most run 12.9X. Now is that a correct or realistic statement? Oh, I forgot. Everyone lies on the internet so it must be fine then. ;)

The point you are missing is there has to be a line. If not, then when does it swing from factual to BS? Say my 226 grind cam only LS1 is making 390 hp. I've seen someone post that they made that with a "similar" grind. Will mine? Most likely not. More like low 370ish, but hey its only 20 hp. Whats next? Well, its another 10 hp, so no I can brag that my car makes 400 hp. Well, just another 10. Ya, it makes 410hp today.

So where does it end? IMO, the line is where YOU actually know what your car makes. Not what you think it may probably make because someone else's might have made that once, or marketing at GM says it made this much.

Personally, if I don't know. I will tell people I don't know. Not just tell them I'm making what everyone else is making. Sorry, but I'm honest like that, and I do expect the same honesty in return. Maybe thats why I hate most people... :D

"Well, its another 10 hp, so no I can brag that my car makes 400 hp. Well, just another 10. Ya, it makes 410hp today."

put the Turbonator on it....and add another 10hp
