254,3 rwhp! @ Flywheel?
Hi,
One of the recent excellent meets of Corvette Club Denmark featured a dynotest of the vehicles. I had my 1979 L48 rebuilt during winter with a GM 'special performance' camshaft and flat hypereutic pistons bored .030 over. The car measured 254 hp at the rear wheels. I am wondering in what range my hp will be at the flywheel with no other mods apart from a removed A/C-pump?
Thanx in advance!

Alwyn,
What kind of improvement would you suspect from changing to headers alone? I think that new cylinder heads are a bit out in the future...Ah, what the heck: Also, what would the total improvement be with new heads?

It wouldn't be exagerated to say that you have 300 hp to the engine. Based on a 20% drivetrain loss with an automatic. Manual trans is a little less, 17 %.

so it depends on what access are running on your engine. It is more likely Your gross is in the 330 to 360 range.
Your Net will be around 300-310
