Default Bone stock #'s LS6, LS3, LS7 same dyno same day

There's lots of discussion about what different cars are putting down, so I stole these graphs from a local dyno day in the PNW section and thought I would share for fair comparisons on the same dyno on the same day all three cars were stock.

LS6:


LS3:



LS7:

Holy crap that LS3 is running rich... no wonder why they are in the 400rwhp+ range with a tune.

Might be nice to attribute these cars - especially since one of them is mine (stock LS6) and all of them are Forum members Note that I had a K&N filter as the only mod, as I posted here.

cool post. Give the LS3 some more time to loosen up and it will make more power. Looks like it was done on a 09 vette. Like others have said gotta love LS motors .
