Every 2016+ Camaro SS Bolt-On Part Dyno Tested Back-to-Back! Intake, Headers, Manifold, etc.

427 rwhp completely stock baseline is really good. These cars typically baseline around 400 rwhp but the power can vary by car! I’m jealous!!

[@kevindutter9068]

I think it has to do with it being a stick car, less drivetrain loss

[@michaelcalvert9743]

​@@kevindutter9068 the manual typically dyno 400-405. The auto are around 375-380. 427 stock in this video would mean this car only had 6.15% drivetrain loss.

[@al151]

Guys. Cars read different on dynos, don’t hang up on the numbers but the delta gain. Here the dyno is using Standard Correction not SAE. So it is a 400 whp car on an accurate dyno. What sucks about it is you are paying $$$ for 36 whp gain. Not worth it. You need to add cam setup or go supercharger route.

[@J.Wick.]

This is awesome. Invaluable information. Thanks for making this!

so for 4k in parts not including labor they gained 36rwhp tuned on 93 pump gas?

My brother has a scat and my cousin has a 5.0. I have a Fifty edition Camaro and I'm faster than both. The scat can give me a run up in 100mph range but that's it. The mustangs actually a dog.

No it doesn’t, the mach1 they dynoed put down 500hp to the tire with headers and e85

[@chasehamilton7797]

Might be a silly question, but did you guys do a tune after each mod before testing, or did you just bolt em on and go?

[@JussDraftfr]

its fbo. no need for a tune

[@muskytuned]

@@JussDraftfr :30 It was stated it was tuned at each stage. It's a big misconception that just bolting on parts gives you gains. All of these parts need a proper calibration. That rotofab intake changes the maf scaling and requires a tune. Same goes for the intake manifold and throttle body. The headers are a little more forgiving but definately need a tune to optimize the gains.

[@blakececil4905]

Yeah after any modification you should tune otherwise you could be losing power

[@02gtdbzfan]

Baseline on the SS is impressive but not entirely unexpected. I was a little surprised that the mods didn’t add more power. Watching the same mods occur on a 5.0 is very interesting. But they are certainly very different engines. What do the baselines on a Dodge look like?

[@deanthonyhicks69]

I wonder how much e85 would add. I'm thinking around 20 hp.

[@al151]

Most likely. But you can get a flex tune and dial in for both pump gas and e85.

[@guerrero12009]

For me it gave me 30 more HP just on e85

The 6rwhp gain was with the tune. Most gains are.

What kind of power do you think a nice aggressive cam bored 30 over and stroked. I know this is a terrible question, but I just bought a 2020 2ss. Any guesses would be great! Thanks

[@gbass7328]

At no time is the engine tune shown as a gain. Was this motor not tuned for these pulls? How much did it add and when in this process?

Lol Tune is required for all these mods or you'll get an Xmas tree of lights on your dash and car won't run well

How would you compare the msd to the c8 manifold

For a fraction of the price, you can install a modified LT2 intake and get 90% of the gains.

Any dyno with hood open adds,12-18 hp and does NOT reflect actual driving, but rather, in a parking lot meet or gathering, sitting there.

Never trust ANY speed shop when they use STD and open hood. If you do, deduct 15-20hp.

They didnt close the hood. Thats cheating by keeping engine cool.

[@Game-The-System]

My educated guess is that this is a trade-off. While there might be some added cooling effect from the hood being open (especially with the fans blowing), you also likely lose some of the compressive effect of the air being forced into the engine bay (and the intake).
