FWIW, the Camaro SS doesn't have any more power than an F-Stock Camaro
can get. The intake hasn't proven to be any better than the non-SS
stuff. The only advantages are (debatably) 17" wheels which are wider
(9") and the options for stiffer springs and maybe sway bars....all of
which may compare very well to FS-legal 1LE equipped cars.
Of course, the LS1 cars have power all over any other FS car followed
by DOHC Cobras and LT1's, which are very close in hp, but not in torque.
