Just picked up my 05 ss/sc on saturday. it was owned by a maryland state trooper before me and from what i can tell the only thing done to the car was an aftermarket grille put on it. But when i drive the car and really lay into it, it feels like the thing is pulling like a low 13 sec car. I have alot of friends with hondas that have gsr swaps, b16's, and all that crap that are running low 13/high 12 sec 1/4 miles and i can keep up with them and they tell me it feels the same way. havent had a good chance to look under the hood or car yet, but from a quick glance it all looks stock. If i take some pictures of under the hood and car and all would you all be able to tell me if you notice anything aftermarket? dont know too much about this car yet or what all can be done so any help is appreciated. thanks

 

it may feel that way, but i have a feeling it's stock. i came from a SLOWWWW car and used to think my SS S/C is alot faster than it really is.

how many psi is the boost peaking at? should be 12.5 for stock

 

do you have any bolts holding the supercharger pulley on? or any injectors that are not of a green color? if so, that is aftermarket and it is modded. if it is all stock...FACTORY FREAK FTW!

 

^^^ yesss. could be a factory freak too.

 

pic sof engine bay?

 

can get pics tomorrow. just ran out and looked, injectors are green and it does have bolts on the pulley. let me put it this way.. yesterday i had a 20-110 run with an 04 mustang gt with headers, x-pipe, full exhaust, and intake from what i could tell, and a porsche carerra 4 (roughly 13.1 sec 1/4 stock). stayed next to both of them with no problem at all. ive been in and driven some NASTY cars before and had an eclipse that was running 14.8's. this thing crushes the eclipse and is downright FAST. i can be at 20mph in 2nd gear and be up to about 100 in like 3 1/2 - 5 seconds depending on how good i can shift it (still getting used to the car, only had it 2 days.. this tranny is weird)

 

something sounds fishy????

 

is there a number on the pulley?
what color bolts are on the pulley?

 

i'll check it out tomorrow when i'm at work. but no bullshit, this car pulls HARD as **** for being supposedly stock. i'll get some pics tomorrow when i get a free minute

 

Im calling the hamster mod... (hamsters inside the blower making it spin faster...) Just a thought ppl...!

 

1st gear i cannot keep traction to save my life, and 2nd gear breaks loose like a ****. but like i said, from what i can tell the bitch is BONE stock besides an aftermarket grille.

 

Could be some hidden things like a ported blower, dual pass, airbox mod, aftermarket pulley (no GM, and pressed on). Just some things to think about. The sooner you get detailed pics up on the site, the sooner we can find the obvious stuff ;-)

 

well like i said i can get some pics tomorrow. its goin on 11:30pm here right now and i gotta be at work at 7 so i really dont wanna go crawlin under a car right now lol.

how loud is the stock supercharger supposed to be with no mods? same with exhaust?

 

im finding something strange because you have the stock injectors that are pretty much maxed out from the factory, but you have a smaller aftermarket pulley and hub which requires new injectors and a tune.

 

How much are you boosting?

 

went over it again and actually look in the daylight. actually had a member on here look at it today, everything looks stock. didnt get to take pics today but i'll try getting them tomorrow. but regardless, im almost sure its stock but dunno why it pulls like it does. did the airbox mod tonight to it.. very nice.

 

There are 2 ways to find out if it's stock or not:

• Dyno Chart
• 1/4 Mile Slip (looking for mph here, not ET)

Let us know when you get them done ...

 

Does it rev to 7000rpm and have 4 bolts on the pulley?? if so more than likely a factory installed GM Stage 2 kit

 

lol... everyone trippin

 

The same thing happened to me when i bought my 05 ss sc! didnt realize that it had a stage 2 in it and was wonderin why i was beating the same car but only completey stock!
