Default Dyno results from Speedworks inside

This is for all of the naysayers that thought LG cheated and manipulated the dyno results.
Please reference this thread. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1002814
I just had my car redynoed at Speedworks and the results are 342rwhp and 345rwtq. These numbers are almost exactly the same as when I dynoed my car on LG's dyno.


341rwhp, 349rwtq at LG
342rwhp, 345rwtq at Speedworks

I'm willing to bet you'll still see some people with their conspiracy theories though

I don't know why LG motorsports gets a bad wrap they are really great, I had my car there twice and was treated wonderful both times, the first time Lou spent 10 hours on my car when his race car was being built in the backshop he spent alot of time working with me and my car.

You're probably right but I'm not going to argue through eight pages this time.

CNB, you really love trying to pull the wool over our eyes. Everybody knows that Lou's cousin owns Speedworks!! j/k

Congrats on the dyno results. The sheet looks awesome and the LG's are definitely the top of the line system.

It's funny how the other thread went eight pages and when I back up my results on a different dyno this thread drops like a rock.

NIce results. I went to another dyno once to varify our numbers and we were within less than 2 hp on the other dyno.

I think that unless there are some unusual installation issues with the Dyno Jet causing skewed numbers, then they seem to be close all over the country.

Thanks again for the follow up.

We have been working very hard to get our new World Challenge race car built for Sebring on March 18th so I have been away from the internet completely.

for those of you near Dallas, Dont forget about our LG Dyno Day on Sat Feb 26th starting at 10:00 . I will be cooking "Italian Burgers". You won't want to miss it.

Thanks
Lou G

Right here. Good gains, CNB. The LGs rock and congratulations on your new headers. Hope you are as happy with them as I am with my KOOKS. In the end thats all that matters is that you are happy with the results and happy with your purchase. Ya done good.

Again congratulations on the good gains, the build quality, the customer support, and the well earned reputation of your new headers. You got a great set of headers and at the end of the day, thats all that matters.

?????He just proved beyond any meaningful doubt, to anyone who wanted to see it, what he said he had done, which was get a significant and measurable improvement over his previous headers by switching to LGs. Who would have a problem giving him his due??????

After all he didn't have to show us any results. I seem to recall a certain individual claiming all sorts of stellar, near stock, quarter mile elapsed times which were a stretch to believe, which some of us chose to believe and chastened others for not following suit. That particular individual offered up NO documentation to back up his results. CNB has offered convincing proof of his results. My hat is off to him.

CNB was kind enough to share his results with us, and then go to the trouble to back them up and show us the results again at not one but two different dynos. Before and after results on 2 different dynos.

His gains are measurable, and demonstrated. For that he, and his header manufacturer/builder are to be commended.

His post is a good one for the board and is one of the very few examples of an actual back to back, if you will comparison between two different brands of headers, on the same car, with the same tune, on the same dynos, or rather on one dyno twice, and then on another dyno twice. You will have to search far and wide to find another such example of a header comparison.

I am flattered that you felt a need to call me out, but since you did, I will be among the first to congratulate him on his results and thank him for the effort it took to actually gather the data and information that he got. It certainly was not cheap and it may help someone else in making a purchasing decision.

You have a good day.

We are working overtime to finish the new C6-R Race car for it's maiden voyage at Sebring.

Here is a thought to ponder: If I win the Sebring race, I will be the First C6 to record a win with the car. put that one in the history books.

Winning isn't easy but the Rules Makers have at least given the Corvette a fighting chance this year.

Thanks
