Rochie · 04-14-2020, 02:34 AM

Hi guys
I have just purchased an import from the states, Until I get to a dyno, im sure you guru’s on here will have some good estimates for me please, power and torque..
2010 Camaro SS, 6spM ls3
TVS 2300 with 3.2 pulley running 12psi
Cam (unkown specs, would say street blower cam)
CAI
Long tube headers and full magnaflow 3” exhaust
ZR1 dual fuel pumps
Tuned on 98 octane.

Thanks in advance. ��

Hey Rochie, I run similar through an auto and have 600hp atw so I would guess 600-650hp atw.

Greenhornet2 · 04-14-2020, 06:08 AM

If it has a blower cam it should be on the low end 625. It depends on the tune as well. If it's a good blower cam and good tune I'd say you could be around 675ish

Is the 98 octane fuel racing fuel. Regular gas station only has 93 octane.

Outside of America regular gas stations have 98-100+ octane
Must be nice

If I was to take a guess, not knowing anything about the cam or pulley size, I'd say north of 600rwhp.

Greenhornet2 · 04-14-2020, 12:19 PM

Outside the U.S they use a different rating for octane as well. 98 octane RON is equal to a lesser octane rating in the states which use a PON which is an average between RON and MON so 98 RON would equal to 93 octane in the states.

I have a similar setup running a 3.4 pulley at about 9 psi. On a Dynojet it is 650 rwhp whereas on a Mustang Dyno it came in just shy of 620 rwhp.
Depending on the cam yours should do better.

ADVMax · 04-14-2020, 05:30 PM

I estimate you need to keep some extra rear tires on hand!

Rochie · 04-15-2020, 02:11 AM

Thanks all, knew there would be plenty of experience in this group.
Yea it certainly feels like that sort of power, has 315 pilot sports on the back and still struggling for grip right thru 3rd.. 👍

Nice ride bro! Good luck with it! I'm more of a stalker on here than I am an author, but the guys on here probably know way more than any GM mechanic could tell you about these cars. It may not be the fastest method of getting answers, but it's definitely the most knowledgeable and accurate!

Rochie · 04-16-2020, 06:18 PM

Thanks for all the feedback.
The previous owner wasnt sure about the cam, i only assume it has some kond of street cam because of how it drives (ive had other LS cars).
Could you guys checkout these vids and let me know if you think it has got a cam or this is just how they idle factory please?
Cheers

Well, here's the thing. You can put a decent cam in a car and still have a pretty smooth so there's no real way to tell. It's obvious when you put a cam in more with valve overlap because that's when you get the chop chop. If you want to know you can pull the valve covers and with a dial indicator measure the lift easily. Can figure the duration too but you'd need a degree indicator to measure new a little harder.
