Hey there LS-1 people. I was looking at SS Camaros and was wondering if you could tell me what the difference is between the 345hp 2002 and the 325hp 2001. Thanks.

 

2001-2002 models are nothing different from each other, although I could be wrong(please correct if I am). From what I understand, it was a carryover. What gives the SS the extra +20 HP is the dual-dual exhaust, a SLP option. But understand that GM underrates the F-bodies.

 

In 01 you were able to get a 335 hp SS if you got it with the d/d slp exhaust. If you didin't it would be rated at 325 hp. In 02 you could have gotten the 325 hp, 335 with the d/d exhaust or 345 with the d/d exhaust and a lid from slp. That's the difference.

 

I think the '02 got the power steering cooler
Did the '01 have it?

 

Both SpecForceZ28 and Geeterman are absolutely correct.

Yes, all 2001 SS/WS6/Firehawks got the power steering cooler.

 

I think all the H.P.ratings from GM and slp are bull sh*t the motors are the same I dont think a muffler and a half A$$ ram air make that much diff.

 

Well the Pontiac Ram Air is better than the SS Ram Air. The Dual Dual Exhaust will help out the horsepower output.

 

My setup works for me

 

Not to be a ****, but a muffler and a "lid" will make that much difference, the ram air is a BS idea though much more efficient on the T/A's if they remove the baffle's, the SS setup is crap, you are better off buying a Z28, and putting the lid, muffler and stuff on yourself, then buy a Ultra Z hood, or something more radical than the 1 1/2" tall ss cowl. These numbers are rated at the crank, though, not rwhp, even still underrated, it has actually been proven, those two things are the first thing any LS1 owner should do right away, is a Lid and exhaust, and while you are at it do headers too, but if not, at least get a better y-pipe and muffler, then you will definetely notice a difference.

 

The power steering cooler is standard on all 02 Z28, SS, and WS6.

A lid and good catback will make good power. Not factory.

but gm and slp mods not that good-BS-hp specs on new cars
