I know others have posted baseline dyno results. Just wanted to show how consistent the C7 is on the dyno.

Got our first 2014 Chevy C7 Corvette Stingray in the shop a few days ago. Performing baseline chassis dyno testing on this car which is equipped with Z51 and 3LT packages. This car has an automatic transmission and is running on 93 octane. It has 22 miles on the odometer. Baseline track testing and modification videos coming very soon. Stay tuned.

Looks like that "Ancient" A6 that everyone is bitching about is pretty efficient!

Thanks for posting. Will be following the progress. Keep us posted.

Pretty close to the loss of the 7 speed! So that puts this auto around 13%?

Almost exact same numbers as my girl's 08' with tune and exhaust.

wow a whopping 20rwhp over an 08' LS3 A6 C6

Tide Will Roll!

What procedure does Hennessey use to break in the C7 engines before dyno or are they already broke in?

Thanks

22 miles, who needs a break in lol!

Ill be at your shop in March for the tx2k events. Sure you'll have some new toys for this by then!

Yes but 55 more ft/lbs torque...that is a big deal.

peter pan

that is great

That's what I was looking at ..............

Everybody has a different theory on this. Mine is to drive it hard from day one. That generally makes the motor a bit "looser" and gives a bit more power. And that may reduce the engine life from 200k miles to 185k miles...

I agree with this here ^ Either its going to break or it wont!

And Hennessey's 1/4 mile run of the stock Vette here.

Doesn't 114mph seem a tad low for 415rwhp?

modern rings and the super smooth hone on the cyl liners don't need much breakin from what I know. they now use synth oil from the get go and the engines are designed for it.

bearings and valve guides and rotating assembly gets acquainted very quickly and the tolerance are MUCH more precise than the old days

I'd still like to see 500 or so miles, but honestly, it's more of a comfort thing than and engineering necessity. it's more about letting the diff and rest of the drive train break in more so than then engine.

Yes

DA at track was 2700+ ft. Its still pretty hot and humid in Texas while other parts of the country have cooled off. She will run quicker in cooler, drier air.
