Wow, the item number worked. Thanks for it. I am slight bit more convinced now, but just get some dyno sheets up man and you can totally redeem yourself.

BTW I am digging your rims, they look very nice on the sc.

Default Tood Posting Is An Old Dyno People!!!!!

He Will Tell You I Dyno's Last Well Over 400hp If He Tells The Truth. He Will Tell You That My Ride Is Fast, But Again I Have Added A Few Goodies To Gain More Hp That Todd Is Not Aware Of. So The Contoversy Is Not Over Just Because Todd Posted An Old Dyno Test Of My Sc400 At Or A Little More Than 400hp. He Will Tell You That I Am Close To 300 Hp Without Nos, Because I Was Only Running A 100hp Shot At The Last Dyno Visit To His Shop 400hp - 100hp Equals "300 Hp Thank You Very Much For Your Time People And Think You All Oh Me An Apology I Will Probably Never Get, But Oh Well It Has Been Fun I Am Out Of Here.

jibby:

I have checked out your car myself at Todd's shop a while ago.

I think you've made some very good efforts to keep your car nice and clean; I could tell from the re-finished leather seats and the new paint on your car.

I also think your ride is definitely faster than any stock SC400 out there. However, just as what Todd has stated, your car is lacking in low end acceleration (below 2k RPM) and this problem definitely hurts its overall performance.

With NOS switched on, I am sure you'll have no problem blowing away most SC4s with simple bolt on mods. Notwithstand this, if I were to give a humble estimate on your car's power output, I don't think it was making more than 350hp-400hp at the crank.

You should always dyno your car and have the real numbers to solidify your claims.

Default Again Another Skeptic

Yes This Car Was Hurting At Low End But Not Anymore As I Said Before I Have Made Some More Mods, And Todd Could Not Tune My Piggy Back Correctly Which He Installed To Correct The Problem. I Didn't Want To Go Here But To Prove I Am Telling The Truth, Now I Must Bash, Todd Advised Me To Change The Mass Air Flow And Trottle Body Sensor To Correct My Low End Torque Hesitation Between 1000-2000 Rpm's Needless To Say Todd's Advise Cost Me More Money And Time With Those Changes That Did Nothing But Reduce The Balance In My Bank Accoutn.

Only When I Took It To A Real Apexi "tuner Was I Able To Correct The Problem And Increase The Horsepower Considerably, That Dyno Test Is Crap And Should Be Disregarded. Anyone Want To Give Me A Free Dyno, I Still Want That $75 Bucks From That One Non-believer. Now You Made Me Bash Todd. I Liked Todd, Until This Crap Started Happening. Go To Lextreme, David The Owner Is A Stand Up Guy And I Like Him Alot.

I checked out that eBay auction of yours (8009031484).

How come that eBay auction description is capitalized normally and only we get this insipid Capitalizing Of Every Word?

Dyno numbers. Plus post these "goodies"... You can't expect anyone to believe the numbers you posted based soley off of the mods you listed.

Is your motor on the verge of blowing up?... are you feeding it jet fuel?...You also bring up 0-60 races many times... What is your 0-60 time?

the c6 weighs in at 3179 lbs thats about 600lbs diff .. no contest bro
You stated the C6 not supercharged Z06. I was referring to the base model C6 which has the 400 hp rated LS2. From what I heard been dynoing i nthe middle high 3xx whp from the local shops. Although I cant remember exact dyno numbers.

Curb weight of that car is roughly slightly less then 3200 lbs. The 300 lbs I was probably thinking sc300 vs C6 where the SC300 bone dry weighs sligthly more tehn 3500 lbs vs almost 3200 lbs. I forgot the SC400 was slightly heavier. Now 3750 is this with stock sized wheels and no spare? and no fuel? If measured withouth a tank of gas Im surprissed it is that much heavier then the SC300.

I believe you put down 300-320 with nitrous. Very do able.

Now I would still like to see some dyno #'s NA and with nitrous. Let us know when you hit the dyno so you can back up your outrageous claims.
