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?

I heard the same about the speed density cars being faster because of the differance in gearing...but im not sure what your talking about w/ the 96 Lt1's putting 290 to the wheels and the ss's over a 300..thats insane. The LT1 6spd ss's did seem to put out a little more (unlike the LS1 SS's) but the highest ones generally pulled 270's (on a very rare occasion maybe high 270's)...I owned 2 LT1's (when it was still the car to beat) and spent alot of time at the track and different boards and thats the highest I ever heard outta them. As far as the best time we all know about the firechicken GMHTP car that ran 13.5's. Im skeptical about that mags times, best I ever seen was a 13.6 Out of a 96 SS 6spd which cut a 13.6@101. From my experience the formy's were always the fastest. Low optioned and the lightest.
