Any 03's dynoed yet
In response to another thread on this forum that the 03's are slightly stronger, I just wanted to see if anyone has dynoed their's yet.
No I haven't done mine yet

No guts, no glory: You have the golden opportunity to be the 1st, and maybe the most horsepower of all that dyno stock 03 Z06's. For the paltry price of a bill, you can lead the way. I am dying to know. Somebody has to be the 1st. I do not even have enough miles on my '02 quicksilver Z06 to dyno it . But it's turn is coming.
Thanks in advance

I dyno'd my 03 with about 600 miles last week. It did 346.6 horsepower and 339 lb/ft torque. After the breathless intake it did 353 and 342 torque. I've been told that if I would have driven around the block at WOT before the run after the intake was fitted the computer would have learned and put down more.
I now have 1000 miles so it should be more. I plan on doing it this week to see if the intake was worth it.

In terms of your WOT run, I don't believe that is the case because WOT doesn't use the oxygen sensor to adjust fuel mixture and runs rich anyways from the factory. Your intake would slightly lean the mixture giving you more power without the computer needing to 'relearn'. In part throttle applications, I do agree the computer will learn as you drive it some.
I don't know if our Z06s would gain as much because the exhaust is already less restrictive but a friend with a 99 coupe also went on the rollers the same day and scored 315 rwhp with only a K&N style intake and Borla stingers. That is about 25 hp over stock... Just food for thought.

Uh - I've been away a few days. What thread claims that the 03, with no mechanical changes from an 02, is "stronger". And BTW comparing using different dyno's isn't worth the money IMO. Use the dyno to baseline yur car, check hpw mods are working and tune the car. Just enjoy the car!

PS: MOst dyno's here have 3 pulls for $50.00 on a dyno day, otherwise $75 is the going rate.

I disagree here if you are saying the computer cannot learn at WOT. I watched an '02 Z06 gain 23rwhp in 4 back to back dyno pulls after an airbox install. It never came off the rollers. The owner admitted that he doesn't flog the car at all. We literally watched the car add more fuel on its own during each run to compensate for the new airbox.
Oh, and what was the intake? I have an 02 Z06 and would consider an intake if someone could document a 23 rwhp gain! :cheers:

Re: Any 03's dynoed yet (Bertrand)
Interesting, were you actually watching the fuel measurements on a computer
Also, you mention a 23 hp increase, what was the baseline and new max value for those pulls? Just curious where it started and ended.

The #s themselves were not impressive, in fact almost stock..... but watching the computer itself adjust was awesome.
