Corvette Z06 Dyno Tune

[gmkillr]

Well guys Im taking my Z06 into Wolfpack Speed Friday for a dyno tune via Ed Hutchings (Hi-Tech Tuning) using HP Tuners.

Stock 427 LS7 engine
Stock ported heads
Fast 102 Inatke
BTR Custom Cam
Nick Williams 102 throttle body
ARH 1 7/8" longtube headers w/ 3" collector
ARH 3" X-pipe with hi-flow cats
LG4 3" catback exhaust
Vararam CAI

The car made 463 rwhp and 438 rwtq with the Vararm CAI only and not tuned.

Hoping to crack the 600 rwhp mark....wish me luck!

I will post up dyno sheet and video.

[Cam99]

That car is going to be sick this year! Looking forward to dyno results. 608rwhp is my guess

[PaxtonShelby]

I'm definitely not a Vette guy, but I do respect their performance. 600 streetable N/A RWHP is truly amazing.

[whitesnake]

not many sounds better than a cammed chevy motor...

[SK360]

575rwhp. I'll be the pessimist.
:)

[TooFast98Cobra]

Love it!

628.93 SAE out of this one on 93 octane.

[John4cam]

I assume you're doing the remote tune with Ed? Can't wait to see the numbers.

[angel50]

Definitely gonna be a whole new animal...lightweight and around 600rwhp...FAST!!!!

[gmkillr]

I assume you're doing the remote tune with Ed? Can't wait to see the numbers.

Yes Ed will be tuning it remotely. Me either man....ive been waiting for this day for a long time!

[gmkillr]

Most Z06's with similar combo's make around 550-570 rwhp, some of the better ones get into the 580-590 range but not many break the 600 mark.

I think its definitely possible with my combo to break the 600 mark but well see tomorrow for certain.

Id be happy with anything over 600 but id really like to get over 615 to be honest....for some reason I have the number 617 rwhp stuck in my mind...lol

[gmkillr]

Definitely gonna be a whole new animal...lightweight and around 600rwhp...FAST!!!!

Yeah Ive dropped almost 100 lbs off of the car from last year. Most of that weight is rotational mass so it should help plenty!

[SK360]

Can just mess with dyno calibration if you really want to see it. Shit put it in STD correction and you'll probably have it. Remember at the end of the day dynos are tuning tools and can't be compared against other dynos even of the same model. Track numbers are what matter. :)

[1320goat]

Those are some great na numbers. Not a car I'd like to run into on the highway.

[TooFast98Cobra]

Time for a little dry hit rob ;)

[travj31]

awesome...goodluck!

[Wolfpack Speed]

Can just mess with dyno calibration if you really want to see it.I have a Dynojet, not a Mustang Dyno, so there is no "messing with the dyno calibration". This is one of several reasons why the Dynojet is the industry standard.

Using nothing more than a wet rag and a hair dryer, we were able to blow a hot, humid blast of air over the weather station during a dyno run. According to the dyno, the air in the room during our test was over 118-degrees and soaked with 29-percent humidity, resulting in an SAE correction factor of 1.07. In reality, the room was actually 83-degrees, meaning the motor ingested cooler, denser air resulting in more power. The result? An "extra" 17.91-rwhp and a reported "gain" of over 4.41-percent! And that's only a 35-degree jump, imagine what would happen if you dyno tested a car in 50-degree weather, but the station thought it was 150 outside! Truth be told, this is the most abused (we've seen it many times) and common dyno trick and it is something you should look out for. Fortunately, Dynojet (and many other companies) record and save weather station data for every run, so all you need to do is ask for the weather station data for a run to verify its authenticity. No weather station data, no care!

No need to worry about correction factors if you look at the real numbers, which are uncorrected:jackit:

Start posting all your customer cars uncorrected then since they are the only real numbers. :work:

[Silverhatch]

Why would you get an email tune when it could be tuned in person on a dynojet???

[gmkillr]

LMAO...........really Matt?

I got a pretty good idea what it will run at the track once I get it all dialed in............

[gmkillr]

Those are some great na numbers. Not a car I'd like to run into on the highway.

Yeah the gearing in these cars and the top end power make this things absolute rockets on the highway. My goal is to match the topend with killer bottom end power and launches! Thanks bud!



Time for a little dry hit rob ;)

Actually once I get this thing dialed in and hit my NA goals im highly considering throwing a 150-200 wet shot at it!



awesome...goodluck!

Thanks bud!

[gmkillr]

Ed will be tuning it remotely just as if he was sitting there. The car will be on the dyno and making hits and he will view them and make changes as needed until we get the car where we want it. Same exact thing as doing it with him there, he will have access to all the same information.

[yeahloh95]

my guess 611

[SK360]

It's not an email tune... And no "professionals" around here are worth a **** with LS motors

Why would I do that? The numbers are being posted to compare to similar cars with similar mods. SAE is the industry standard for comparing dyno numbers...

[SK360]

Think that was with just Rob and Mike running on the rollers. STD not SAE tho.

[Wolfpack Speed]

Well guys we did all we could to make my overrated, super high reading inaccurate dynojet spit out the highest number possible, but even with Jeff turning up the horsepower and torque knob on the back of the stack all we could show was 577:moon:

[SK360]

Humm I was off by 2rwhp. Did you let the rag sit for 30 minutes after you wet it or dive in soaking wet? Might be why I was off.

Damn, good stuff Rob

[angel50]

Nice number!!!! Congrats!!!! It's a beautiful day to enjoy it until it snows again....

[gmkillr]

Hahahaa...yeah the car made 577 rwhp and 505 rwtq and we were running out of injector (duty cycle of 96%) so that where we ended up for the day. Im working on a set of ID 1000 injectors now. Once I get them in well head back for round 2.

Car is an absolute beast on the way home.......the extra 116 rwhp that I have over last year feels amazing!

[PaxtonShelby]

That's quite a beast you have there...





Yeah.........I know.........."That's what she said!!!"

Very nice! I'll bet that thing is a handful on the street.

[yeahloh95]

nice numbers rob , will you need more fuel pump too ?

[SonofaBish]

congrats!

I'd love to see how it stacks up against your brother's car.......................

[Pure Stock]

What MPH range do you expect out of it now at say PRP on a "decent day" D/A wise for that track?

[gmkillr]

Very nice! I'll bet that thing is a handful on the street.

Yeah I was out crusing in it today and it is an absolute handful on the street! Even at 65-70mph if I hammer it, it will get all over the place! Its a blast to drive!



nice numbers rob , will you need more fuel pump too ?

Were gonna wire up the fuel pump to get more voltage to increase the pressure some just to be on the safe side.


congrats!

I'd love to see how it stacks up against your brother's car.......................

If he would have left it modded as it was last year it would have been a pretty good race but he just completely re-did the whole car, engine, turbos, fuel system, trans, clutch, etc... as he blew it up at the end of last year and the engine needed re-done so he re-did everything....it should be making 900+ HP at the wheels.



What MPH range do you expect out of it now at say PRP on a "decent day" D/A wise for that track?

Im not really sure, Im guessing it will go 137-139 and maybe on perfect days with really good DA it may eclipse 140.

The goal for the car is 9 sec. e.t. and 140 trap.....Its probably gonna take a tone of work, testing, and a boatload of passes to get it there but i'll keep pressing till I get it there. Once I hit those goals I may throw a 150-200 shot on it and go for broke but thats atleast a year away....just gonna focus on dialing in the current combo.

See some quicker N/A combos swap out the 3.42's for 4.10's.

[PaxtonShelby]

Do the Z's have upgraded half shafts? That seems like serious power to push thru an IRS on a street car.

[somethingclever]

Lots of power for 427ci.

[gmkillr]

They don't make gears for the Z06's so you have to swap out the Z06 rear for a base Vette rear and have it machined to fit the Z06 trans, etc which end up being a $4k+ ordeal just to get gears or believe me I would of had a set of gears awhile ago if it was as easy as just buying gears and installing them. Another downfall to swapping to a base Vette rear-end to do gears is that the case is much weaker than the Z06 case so your losing out there....

I for one cant believe that not one gear manufacturer didn't step up to the plate and make at-least 2-3 seats of gears for the Z06. I bet they would sell like hotcakes!

No the half-shafts are the same on all Corvettes but I broke one last year and upgraded both of them. I "should" be good to go now but I didnt buy too strong of half-shafts cause if they don't give then either the rear-end or trans is gonna have to give out and they are both very expensive to fix and very time consuming. Half-shafts are pretty cheap and I can swap both of them out in about an hour. Id much rather have them as my "fuse" per say.

[PaxtonShelby]

Sounds like a good plan there. Right now, the "fuse" in my '66 is the T-5...

[gmkillr]

Lots of power for 427ci.

Yeah im hoping to squeeze a little more out of her once I get enough injector in the car and do a little wiring upgrade to the fuel pump.

Should be able to eclipse damn close to 600 rwhp.

I'm just amazed by this. Simply did not know ... is it based off some euro housing or something that makes it unique?

Eh, I light the fuse every time I pull into the beams ... Hoping the new upgrades make it longer.

Less static pressure and a higher coefficient of friction does wonders for longevity. And so do off idle launches, i mean, I'm just sayin.:pinkthumb:

LOl....very true but I think I gave up the sleeper option the day I bought it......Bright yellow Z06......Hahahahaa



Nice numbers for sure!

Thanks Bob! Im not really sure why nobody makes gears for it? Ive searched thru the Vette forums and cant find any real solid info on why they dont.

I bet Troys 95 GT would be much slower going down the track today with a 5" layer of dust and cobwebs on it!

You have some serious upgrades in your T-5 Bob - mine is vintage 1985 stuff. I need to educate myself on the question of upgrading the guts of the T5 vs going with a beefier tranny, while learning what tranny can be squeezed into my car without cutting the trans tunnel. I've heard a TKO won't for without a fair amount of cutting & welding. And I'd like to go with a blow proof bell, but still unsure if that would fit and if that would force me to go with different headers. Also have the clutch cable running in that area - not much room and lots of heat.

[travj31]

That thing sounds NASTY!!!

[95V6]

Sounds awesome!

[PaceFever79]

Good numbers! almost as much HP/CID as a 5.0 coyote! :yes:

427 CID / 578 RWHP = 1.353 HP per CID

302 CID / 413 RWHP = 1.367 HP per CID

(The Coyote made 413 RWHP 376 TQ on 93 oct tune. This was on a dynojet at Alternative Motorsports in Oklahoma City, OK. Mods are JLT CAI, Boss intake Manifold, JBA headers, xpipe, JBA axle back)

Thats 100% ricer math there and im not suprised that you of all people would even post some BS crap like that.......lol

Better yet.......line your car next to mine at PRP this coming season and i'll let you see first hand. :yes:

Thanks bro! I'm in WV so I don't have emissions testing but they do a visual inspection to see if you have cats. My car see's 3-4K a year at most.
If I was going for all out HP I would probably ditch the cats, get an electric water pump, bigger headers, higher compression, meth injection, etc... but I just want something that I can jump in and drive to Florida or go to the drag strip or autocross and be competitive.

Beautiful car, and awesome numbers.

What's this BS they don't make gears for a corvette z06?

RPM and Dynotech both make them. most c6z guys go with 390's as it lets you keep a small amount of top end.

I run 4:11's in my C5 and they are just a wee bit too much for long distance cruising.

Some awesome power numbers. slightly larger headers might make it a difference.

If your going to hit 9's you'll need gears or slicks and skinnies with a little weight reduction. I have seen very few N/A z06's run 9.99 or less

Yeah theres only a small handful of HCI C6Z guys that have broke into the 9's. I got a few tricks up my sleeve and I know its gonna be a tough long road but thats my goal for the car. It may take me awhile to get there but i'll eventually do it!:awsome:

Except nobody is trash talking the brand or the members. Its just you that nobody likes :)

Close, it's a small gay click of right wing blowhards that don't like me.

[SK360]

It's Clique. I hate the right as much as I hate the left so I'm not in said Clique.

What in the hell are you guys talking about?!?

[PaceFever79]

Whatever.... I could care less. The fact is I am smarter than you, but you will always win this argument because the game is rigged. That's the way your kind likes it. So I'm just having fun.

Yeah that's a base C6 rearend that they put gears in and then do special machining to it to make it mate up to a Z06. The swap runs about $3500-4000.

Like I said they dont make gears specifically for the Z06 rearend.

Only way to do gears in a Z06 is to swap out the whole rearend for a base rearend as they make gears for the base model C6's.

Point being that you cant buy a set of $200-300 gears and install them into a C6Z like you can in most other cars. You have to spend a few thousand dollars and use the weaker base C6 case.

[Mark Aubele]

Damn, looked like PaceFever79 jumped off my nuts and landed directly on gmkiller's.

Not to me it doesn't

[stevec5ws6]

Must agree with Speed Racer on that one.

So they make it.. it's stronger than a C6z diff case you just don't want to spend the money...

you don't just "insert hick voice" toss dem geerz in like an ole mufftang. the rear ends have to be professional setup it even takes the pros 4-5 tries on the bench to get them right.

the bottom line is "nobody makes gears for my car" is bullshit. also an upgraded LSD will be needed if you plan to do much drag racing at the 600 rwhp power level. and if you want to add a 200 shot. you might as well get a dedicated drag car to drag race because your going to blow the clutch, rear end or trans in the c6z now if it's a few passes here and there, that's one thing, but if your chasing a time slip that's another.

Speedracer, do you ahve flashbacks every time you see a yellow C6z of that poor guy that about died on route 50?

[gmkillr]

If by "they make gears for the C6Z" you mean "you can take a different rearend and have custom machining done to it to work with the Z after a few thousand dollars" then I guess I agree with you.....they do make gears for it....lol :laughing:

Either way the car is a street car that wears many different hats...I cruise it on the streets with my son, take it to the drags, take it to autocross, take it to cruis -ins and I think it does each of these pretty well so im not going to sacrifice its tameness on the street for a few tenths in the 1/4 or anything else.

Car should go bottom 10's without a ton of work, probably gonna need a good bit of seat time to pull off a 9.....time will tell! :highfive:

[PaxtonShelby]

I was going to go further in detail about that "look" but Ill reserve my thoughts.

You guys arent fans of the big & little look on the Vettes? I'll admit im not a fan of the look of the one posted in the video above but with certain wheels it looks good like the one I posted above.

They dont believe that cars that have good handling should also be enjoyed in a quarter mile drag race, because somehow thats a waste of the car. Bat shit crazy if you ask me

[angel50]

That's crazy...a vette is built for the turns but can make a lot of noise at the strip as well...we change tires for every aspect of driving...I'm getting a terminator and will enjoy it on strip,roadcourse,and the street...

[speedracer]

I completely understand having them on at the drag strip (driving to and from also) but driving around all the time on them all the time... and my opinion on how they look hasn't changed.

[SK360]

Not bigs/littles but still silly, mainly because its a 28" tire (swapping to a 26 this year)

Oh it's not good. I drove to the Waynesburg FLD's on them once... hated it. After that I figured out how to stuff all this shit in the hatch.

Should be a bit easier this year with the smaller tires.

[speedracer]

I hate hauling that much crap around... So I just deal with the sucky handling when I decide to go drag racing. I about crashed on Rt30 trying to keep up with my friends GTR last fall.

[angel50]

would you pick up e.t. if you went to a 26??

[SK360]

would you pick up e.t. if you went to a 26??

Depends. I ran an 11.92 on my 28's last year followed by a 11.88 the next pass on a borrowed set of 26's. The 26's were Z06 fitment and too big for what I need they were 3xx wide, I think 305. I am going to run a 275/40/17 this year. They should be a bit better due to less mass.

The 28's bought me enough gear that I didn't have to hit 4th at the end of the track, I can do it on the 26's as well but then I'm pulling to damn near 7k just to avoid that shift. I will play around with it at a track rental at Quaker in June and see what nets me the best ET's... either letting it shift to 4th or winding out 3rd.

[angel50]

I haven't been to Quaker since 1999 in my 93 gt...nice track...you might as well just tub your vette...lol

[SK360]

275 or gtfo.

It is a nice track.. Shame it's so slow tho.

[gmkillr]

Haha....I got 275-35's on the front and 345-30's on the rear....ran it at prp all last year like that....no skinnies for me but im a fan of the look to be honest.

How come you don't just drive to and from the track with them on?

Wear, shitty handling, annoying TPMS light... Rather shove em in the hatch.

Thanks man, I appreciate it! Im a lifelong Mustang guy myself, still love em. But as you are....Im also just a car guy, I like alot of different cars....Fords, Chevy's, Dodge. etc.....Not a big import fan though. Theres a handful of imports that are ok but most don't interest me. Im gonna try to make it out to the track in the next few weeks. Cams car is pretty damn fast and I have no problem running him.

Yeah I'm pretty much the same way anymore. I use to be somewhat narrow-minded. Now that I'm getting older I've definitely broadened my appreciation of different brands. I feel the same about most imports but yeah I do like a few different ones as well.

Might be close HP wise but the ZL1 is over 4100lbs and the Z06 is 3100lbs. Z06 also isn't shaped like a brick. So yeah it probably would be ugly. Only advantage cam has is the auto :)

My car is right around 540RWHP, so Robs got the HP advantage and a huge weight advantage, so short of drivers error or breakage it's going to go badly for me, LOL.

[gmkillr]

One advantage Cam has going for him is that his Mullet is way more aerodynamic than my haircut. As were going down the 1/4 mile his mullet from having a Camaro actually gains him an unfair advantage as it picks up more and more velocity as it blows in the wind going down the track......UGHHH the advantages Camaro guys have over everyone else!:hyper:
