Default What will I dyno with my H/C ???

Hey guys. Im hoping to have my Z up and running in the next few weeks. Just H/C this year. No FAST. Anyway stock LS6 with LG Pro LT's, V-Ram, RPM 4.10 rear, LS7 clutch, TCI 25% UDP, and the heads are Trickflow 215's at 59cc, GM MLS head gaskets, 11.3 SCR. Cam is Comp X-ER 234/236 113+3. I'll be happy with whatever it does since it will considerably a lot more hp than I've had the last few years. lol.

Guesses?

420-435 RWHP, dynojet dyno, through those 4.10's, it would be a tad higher with stock gears

Depending on tune, of course. Expect 117-119mph traps.

I think I`ll do a bit better than that. Based on all the graphs I`ve seen. I`ll be dynoed on a MD-1750-Importdyne-DE. I`ve seen tons 440 rwhp 346 engines on dyno jets with AFR 205`s, stock compression and 224 228 cams. Im hoping for 450-460 everything else being relative. I have one of the best tuners in Canada or NA for that matter. He tunes 100 different parameters. Most dont come close to his detail.

Thats a low trap speed man. Stock Z`s can pull 116 mph. I`d expect 122-124. JMHO.

CAN and WILL are two different things.

All of the cars i've dealt with in the mid-low 400s at the tire were in the high teens. MAYBE you'll see 120, but it will require a hell of a driver mod.

I have a similar setup with tfs 215s 57cc chambers and a ported fast 90 g5x3 cam dyno chart posted below.

I've seen alot of out of the box tfs 215 headed combos do low 450s with ported fast 90s, On a honest dyno with the stock ls6 intake you will be in the low 440s by what I have seen.

Geez I just dont see traps THAT low. There's quite a few guys pulling 120 cam only.Albeit there are too many factors besides differentiating grinds being just one of them. I have arguably one of the best set of heads you can buy for a 346.. milled with a healthy street strip cam. I can shift real good. Im not doing this to drag the crap out of the car, but would like to go a few times. We'll see. Thanks for your opinions.

Dont get to into the numbers lots of inflated numbers on the web 440's sounds about right on a honest dyno as my friend said. We both expected to make bigger numbers then we did but fell short.

mine was 228-232 cam, tfs220's 59cc tea porting, ported fast 92/92 with ud pulley, and light flywheel.

I apologize, i must have missed the milled heads in the original post. I was thinking stock compression. You will probably be in the 450 range with a good tune and that cam at 11.3-1. Not sure about the 4.10s though. It might read a tad lower because of the gearing.

I still think a solid 120 trap is a good estimate on street tires with a average/good driver.

450 range is my guess and low 400's for torque

Your gears will not get you the numbers you are looking for. Stock gearing I would say 450+

It will feel very very strong. The 4.10s will add 50hp to the butt dyno.

Just focus on track times and traps speeds more than dyno numbers. Like my 113mph 320rwhp car... Lol

Go prove me wrong and bring home some 120+ timeslips!

I'd expect to see you with low 120 ish trap speeds - it's what I get with mine, a bit less cam, 3.42 with A4.....my best trap speed was 123 so far....

The 4.10 gears along with the LS7 clutch will definitely rob some power.

You know I've read all this talk about the heavy LS7 FW and the power robbing yada yada... I have never felt like my Z lost any power when I did the clutch last summer. Revved just as fast, and felt just as strong as the LS6 clutch. JMHO.


Anyway my 4.10's were the best bang for a kick that I did, and would NEVER go back to 3.42's. NA of course.
