Default 2015 Z51 A8 - 414/420 whp

Finally got a chance to strap my C7 to a local Dynojet, altitude 3800+ ft. I expected it to put down around 400 due to the altitude, so I was happy with the results.

Modifications are AFE air filter and Diablosport tune. It was ran in 6th gear for the 1:1 ratio.





For comparison a few other numbers:

C6 Corvette GS (stock) - 375 whp

1st gen Viper (mods unknown)- 495 whp

Camaro SS (headers and intake) - 399 whp

2014 Chevrolet SS (full exhaust) - 382 whp

Two Coyote Mustang 5.0s (mods unknown) - 392/402 whp

Do you have a stock baseline reading?

Even the aFe on the stock tune and then the DS aFe tune would be very good data to have. Many here have been clamoring for just that to have independent verification of claims.

I have posted stock to aFe CAI only dyno results. I got +10/11 HP/TQ with the CAI change.

The deltas on your car from the aFe and then the tune on top of the aFe on your setup would be really good to see.

Unfortunately I don't have any baseline data. I should be going to the drag strip soon to find out if I picked up a couple of mph.

you have correction in your dyno (SAE smoothing 5) so I believe that corrects for your altitude.

Also 4th gear is 1:1... not 6th gear.

Cool, didn't know that about the dyno.

As for the gearing, you're looking at the 7 speed manual and 6 speed automatic gearing. For the 8 speed auto in my car, 6th gear is 1:1. Interestingly, they also ran it in 4th gear with the same results.
