V6 vs RS stock

[master]

Well today I got me thinking I needed a new Intake Manifold and a new cam.


I Was wondering what the difference between the RS and the regular V6. Does the RS have different cam or intake .Why does it have 25 more HP?..

Also I wanted to ask eveyone , What is the Biggest cam I can put on my Stock V6 heads Without needing to upgrade my Valvesprings?

Thanks a lot for your help ..


PS. having SS posi differential makes the Biggest difference in acceleration I have seen .

What makes you think the RS has 25 more HP?
And for your cam question, TONS of topics have started and stopped on that subject...hit the search button and type in cams or cams with stock heads etc...

Yeah...get your information right, please.
AND do a search. I'll let this one go...but only if by 3PM today you have some REAL info in this topic!! ;)

really though. The RS only had i think 5 or 10hp more if it was an SLP RS.

HELP

I thought the RS option only included ground effects, spoiler type stuff and maybe the y87 package?

that's what i thought...

1) RS has no more power than a regular V6.
2) Posi makes no difference in acceleration over a standard open diff.
3) If you're not 100% sure about what you're getting into, don't bother getting a new cam.
4) Do a search in advanced tech for cams. You'll get enough info to keep you reading for days.

Really ..I thought posi aka limited-slip improved acceleration (or acceleration from a standing start to be more exact) over an open-diffy?

[98Camaro3.8]

In a straight line, assuming there's no wheel spin, there shouldn't be any difference in acceleration. It's the same gear ratio, so why would it accelerate any differently?

"assuming there's no wheelspin"

That's the kicker. You can apply more torque to the wheels without getting wheelspin with a LSD. i.e. more power to the wheels before they break loose.

2001 + SLP RS's boast +5 hp for having the dual exhaust. The rest of the modifications deal with suspension.

I see..So in the same conditions and cars, you can launch at a higher rpm with traction with lsd than an open differential. Better 60 foot times I suppose. :D

I wonder what that exhaust sounds like...

You're putting the same power to the ground, so you will accelerate at the same rate. But by launching higher, you can cut some time from your 60'.

. Well I used to have drums on the back of my car a year ago. I went to junk yard and swaped it with a Posi from a 97 Camaro SS and it fit perfectly.

Now the acceleration on all gears is noted big time, its not because its posi its because it has different ratios. 3.42, that makes crusing RPm increase 500+ .If you have the 3.23 and swap to a 3.42 youll notice big time difference.When I did it to my car I was getting 1/4 14.4 with my 5 speed. Now I just need the cam and im SEt .muahahahahha
