Have a guy at work with a 2011 camaro ss...according to him, only cam and full exhaust ...headers back. (which i'm sure means a tune as well) He claims 500 hp but also said he gapped a 2016 GT350. i have a 2012 GT500 with cold air and a k&n...was wondering how you guys think this turns out? i'm pretty confident if he is telling me the truth...

Will be a close, very close race. Both of you make similar power and weight, he might have a better power band though. Sadly, the GT350 are not “fast” straight cars, so its not a fair comparison to yours.

No such thing as a 'only cam and exhaust' LS.

They all lie about their shit. It makes like 600whp, guaranteed :lol:

OP, **** the pulley and just swap to a TVS from a '13 GT500. Get some good tires too, and the most important thing: get it on video!!!

Not sure if the finances or wife will let it happen but, would love to do a vmp tvs gen 2 swap and make a run at 800 hp. But, i have to live with the wife...lol.

Pulley and tune will ensure a win unless he is running a power adder. Of course you will instantly here how he "almost" beat you on motor only and you have a supercharger, so it's a no win situation.

Exactly! Typical gm mentality. not my fault your manufacturer gave you an inferior vehicle...and i have less cubic inches than you!

Sounds like you may not race your car and if he can drive, you lose. I only say that because my car was slow as piss stock and absolutely had to be modded.

Someone school me, how do LS motors make more power NA than Coyotes? People go the distance on yotes trying to achieve 500RWHP as it is.

Been racing for 30 years...i am not worried about losing on driver skill. had plenty of fast cars, including camaro's...just don't have a lot of experience with the new ones...
