Default New Z06's being dynoed

Checking out some other forums, guys have started putting new Z06's on the dyno.

Disclaimer: These are one person's results and may not be accurate for all cars

The baseline run they did in the heat was 443rwhp and 411rwtq. They put on some headers and got those numbers up to 483 and 460 respectively. Those numbers are to THE REAR WHEELS folks, that is going to equal pure devastation.

For fun, they pulled the airbox and did another run.

Results are from Z06vette.com. Discuss

All these different so-called Z06 HP/ torque figures in different tests reminds me of the way Rolls-Royce and Bentley used to officially rate the power in their engines............

.............."Adequate".

This is hp to the ground M, so these were done on a dynanometer which will (as you probably know) always make less horsepower than what the engine makes at the flywheel. The potential on this car is quite pleasing.

Is that dyno provided by the same company sells those bolt-on upgrades?
Discussed.

Yup, same car, same day. I don't believe there was TOO much extensive tuning either.
