SLP Performance Pac
WOW LT1 makes LT4 power with SLP performance Pac!!! Vette magazine did a "test" These are the dyno #'s
Air foil (the call it a 'booster') = 30 more cfm (not dynoed)
Claw air filter system= 8.3 hp (with 'booster')
Cat back exhaust= 7.7 hp
1.6 roller rockers= 11.4 hp
That's 27hp gain at the rear wheels!!!!
This just don't seem right to me, They claim Stock '95 Vette 6 speed made 277.1 hp/264tq at the wheels (319hp/304tq at crank)before and 304.5hp/292.1tq at the wheels (13% correction factor for drive train loss= 350hp at the crank) after.
What do you guys think?

I'll tell you what I think, SLP hooked me up with those exact parts and I ended up with 350 hp, they never told me where, so I have to assume at the crank.
They used my car to test these products. I haven't had it at the track yet to verify any imporvements.
They also dynoed my car stock and it made 318(again assuming crank HP).
My car with a Corsa dynoed at 285 at the wheels.

It was down on power due to the throttlebody not opening all the way. You got me wondering now.

I had posted some questions re bolt-ons on the Tech/performance section and the consensus was cat-back, SLP, etc. don't help. Problem was, most of the comments were not supported by data. What little test data I could find, like dyno results, suggests you can get 10-20 HP out of K&N cut lid (or claw) and a cat back. And yet, few believe it.
Is it because those who do the bolt ons and see no improvement after testing don't want to share the results???

Frank did you have the cut lid with K&N before and SLP claw now??
Typically you can expect around 10chp from the intake mod and 10-15chp from the 1.6:1 RRs. A cat-back change usually brings that sort of gain, so the SLP claim sounds about right.

This demonstrates what flat-*** flogging an LT1 will do for the engine. 277 hp to the wheels before they added any parts. Your car has always been strong, now the C5 guys have to fear your street car as well as the strip car. WooHoo!
How many miles on it now? Amazing.

Thanks Chuck, I'll have to check it out, hell I might even have to buy the issue!
At 277 the car was actually down on power, could be because they took the Corsa off and put the stock back on. I can't tell you how many trips I made to SLP bringing them different parts. I was hoping to run the car at SLP day, but it was cancelled.
The car was strong before and now it is stronger. 133,000 miles on it.

SLP emphasized changes that are truly bolt-on that anyone can do. Swapping the cam or valve springs isn't something just anyone can do, but putting on just the 1.6 roller rockers anyone can handle in their garage.

You have to adjust them afterwards but if you can't do that take it to a tuner shop. You can adjust them initially just by turning over the motor by hand, finding the closed position on each valve, adjusting it to loose, taking up the slack on the pushrod, then turning down the rocker bolt the correct amount.
Replacing valve springs I don't see how you can do it without removing the head to check the specs of height and seat pressure. Replacing the cam is a bitch of a job on these cars with the motor in the car.
The rocker set comes with an EASY button.
