Me either, you have to guess marketing, a 10HP gain is nothing and every car is different, Gm couldn't say they made a change and lost HP!

We dyno'd a bunch back in 96 and saw numbers on stockers range all over the place, some real low, some near 290 at the wheels. We dyno'd a few band new SS's that put down no more then a plain Z and yet another new 96 SS dyno just over 300 at the wheels?

In Z28s and T/A The 93's are "claimed' to be faster, some say because of the Speed Density, other say weight, other say different gearing in the manual trans. But I don't know that's ever been proven, But an SS will cover them all, better posi and wider tires allow them to get more power to the ground off the line regardless if the ram air helps?
