i'm SAD...

took the car over to West Coast Vettes to get her dynoed.. they run a Superflow dyno.. it's a really cool dyno, that can place loads on the wheels for wind drag and air temps, BUT it didn't like the GN. the tech and i spent 1 1/2 hours trying to get the car hooked up to read the RPM but nothing really worked.. the last thing we did was use the spark plug wire set up, but it was still jumping around a little bit and not really right on..

i did some pulls anyway.. the dyno only picked up my car's RPM to 5000 and stopped.. i shift at 6500RPM, so we were missing a extra 1500..

anyway, it pulled (and the car was HOT 170* due to running all the time with finding the lead problem) 564RWHP and 559RWTQ at 5000RPM . the car was picking up 110RWHP every 1000RPM, so we think it would have pulled 700 to 710 and the tq would have been around 590 to 600..

still Climbing off the chart

Great #'s, Mike. Tell me that you did not really expect good #'s from a GN on a dyno in a vette shop?

hahaha.. i wanted them to see some really numbers LOL.. MAN did they have some bad as* rides over there being worked on... a 63 stingray with a tuneport 350 with a Vortec blower , also had a C5 parts under it..

C5 Z6 like yours putting out 1100RWHP .. twin turboed big block.. the dude was on his third motor lol.. but it was still bad as*..

the tech was REALLY amazed how the car pull when it hit pasted 15psi to 30+.. he was like "SHI* this thing pulls"... i just smiled

i'll keep you updated.. i'm going to run it at Bakersfield, then let her sit for a bit.. i want to see what this guy wants to do from Chicago.. if that falls through, then i'm getting it appraised and we can do that other dyno.. i don't want to do any of that in till then..
