I was at the 50th Corvette Celebration in Nashville, Tenn. in 2003. Chevrolet had a full Dyno set up with a 2003 Z06 engine on it. It made 405 HP at 6500 RPM. I watched them make this pull twice and both times it was the same result. I have read in Corvette Mag. that the LS2 actually pulled about 407 to 410 HP on the dyno with a rating of 400 HP from the factory.

The last time I checked, dyno's read rwhp, not engine hp. Engine hp is approximately 12% more than rwhp. That would bring the stock '02-'04 Z06, to an approximate 356rwhp. That is what should have been seen on the dyno results. Not 405.
I have not seen any results that would conclude the stock '02 thru '04 Z06's makes more engine HP than 405.
