Ah, that makes more sense. You just don't buy ~30hp via cats and headers.

Someday it'll get on a dyno....some day.

Did your E-rod LS3 come with the hot cam? If so that'll make a huge difference.

[OldDrunkenSailor]

E-rod doesn't come with that wild cam....I don't think. That's just if you get the LS3 from GM Performance. What's it rate the engine at, 480?

Please don't drink and drive. DUI's are no fun for anyone. Especially DUI #2.

It wasn't me, a good friend of mine. Just a reality check!

What no more, field drifting?

[kid325e]

That's in my blood.

I guess if you're driving around drunk at like 2-3 in the am on a Wednesday night you're asking for it!

Speaking of field drifting, you gonna roll out to the Olympus Rally in September with all the AWD E30s?

[5Toes]

Well was going to go to Tacoma today to take my head to Performance Engine Development... but they quoted me 250% more than their "current" prices on their website. Fuck that. I'll stay local..

[Mlarsen]

That sounds like fun.

Yeah I'm calling slight shenanigans on those numbers. But, get it on a dyno and prove us wrong!

Bone stock LS3 camaros typically dyno in the 360s. That's 15% losses from bhp. If the claim is 470bhp, at comparable losses that is 400whp.

Then that means the LS3 gained 30-40whp on headers, without a tune. I got nothin but love here, but Shenanigans.

This. Also, nothing but love from me, I love the swap. I am a definite LSx fanboy. I am just sceptical of the estimated #s. I would be surprised to see your car break 400 wheel on the dyno. If you are ever in PDX let me know, might be able to arrange a quick run to find out the truth ;)

Carb Connection Dyno Day in the near future?
