hopefully nothing bad. the car is more powerful than what GM states. my car has a quoted 320hp. yet it puts down 304-305rwhp. now given the 17% drivetrain loss for a manual trasmission, it should be rated at about 355hp. with simple bolt ons... almost 400 at the crank, or 335rwhp. which is equivilant to a ZO6. however the ZO6 is lighter. my goal with this car is approx 420-430hp at the crank. ive got all my plans set out already

yeah gm really underrated the horsepower on the ls1 camaros/birds....i don't think they could justify selling a car with the same(or pretty close to the same)hp as the vette for that much less money,so they underrated it.... your goal of 420 hp at the crank should be pretty easy to achieve....good luck...

well, ok, i cant call my tour a beater. she is still a beauty lol. but lets pose this question to you... should i dump 5k into my contour to make it as fast as my WS6, or should i dump 5k into my WS6 and make it even faster. it doesnt make any sense to keep money into the tour. im sure you would do the same.
its actually a pontiac(gm). but it doesnt violate anything, im not a hater. lol.
