I am new to the camaro world. I just inherited a 1998 SS Conv. What is SLP?

 

intake lid and exhaust tips.

 

its a company, Street Legal Performance, they made the 4th gen SS's

 

A company that has been in business for over 25+ years making performance parts. SLP= Street Legal Performance......

 

Also Firebird firehawks were made by SLP... 385HP from a 96 TA aint bad... They treated the Firebird better than the poor Camaro IMO

 

oh i thought u wanted to kno what SLP ment for your SS... whoops

 

Your joking right?

 

No, im dead serious, look it up, the Firebird "FIREHAWK" was built by SLP, and was started with a formula as the build car, They didnt start them in 96 either, there were a few in 91- 92 as well, that is when the "T" RAM intake was used instead ofo the TPI, that in itself was a 65 HP gain over the 245 in the TPI... If someone wants that intake itll cost over 1000 bucks, even today, trust me, ive been looking... even they had over 330 HP, more than the vette of that year, came with a 6 speed as well...

 

and if I remember correctly, they were UNDERATED to keep insurance down, they were close to or over the 400 HP mark from Factory...

 

firehawks were built on both trans am and formula platforms, as well as a few firehawk ws6's. as far as this t-ram, 65 hp from an upper intake on that motor is a physical impossibility without new heads as well. and this was on the genI 350.... as far as your 385 on the lt1 firehawk goes thats also complete garbage, slp only put a few minor boltons to their cars, and these upgrades were mostly cosmetic unless you got the limited edition "SLP" package. i know alot of firehawk guys on tech, and not a one of them was making numbers or times to support your claim when they were stock.
