So, I ran my car at the track last week and managed to pull a 12.6 @ 110 with a 1.9 60' on drag radials, there were other vette's there pulling 106's or less with more mods then me...
I had an opportunity to have the car dyno'd this weekend and i did it for giggles, it came back with 339.6 rwhp and 344.2 rwtq. :yesnod:
My only mods are blackwing, z06 catback, wires and plugs.
Does this sound right?..
I purchased the car used froma dealer and I am not sure if their was anything done to it prior - but everything i have looked at it appears stock as can be.
I know for sure now that I am getting old....
Back in my day, an exceptionaly good running stock car was called a "Freak" not a Fluke..
Everyone, I mean everyone who was a motor head.. knew what it meant to have a freak
I guess I need to go buy a pair of white shoes and a white belt.... pull my pants up around my nipples, and buy a Buick... :nonod:
the BlueDragon is a little 98 and I base lined her before the mods a long time ago, and came up very close to what you have. We call them wed cars, or mid week cars. Every one who put it together did it right. (well that is what we think.) Every now and then a really good one comes out. Some are also pulled and double checked and dyno as a quality check.
Also the Dragon has taken well to the mods that I have done. I don't drag race but I do autocross and open track, and with 2 autocross championships and a third year second place, even up against some Z06s, she certainly shows some moxy!
I have also seen some real dogs. I had the local dealership call me back as they knew I was on the dyno and they had one they could not get even close to spec. I think the guy got a new engine, electronics and some other stuff, just to get it to spec! It will leave you scratching your head two cars which appear exactly the same and turn significantly different numbers.
My mods include the Halltech, 1.8 rockers, MAF, Polished TB, B&B Triflow headers (soon to be a new set of LGs) Bassini X pipe and Corsa Indy system. TB bypass a 178 Thermostat, NGK Plat plugs, MSD wires, and a LS! Edit tune. All these have been on the car for 50K plus miles.
Suspension is Hotchkiss Sway bars, Lowered a little over an inch (max on stock bolts without cutting the bushings) Baer Bump Steer kit.
Brakes are Goodridge lines, Eradi-speed rotors and hawk pads.
You have a damn strong car :eek: Maybe there was some PCM tuning that you are not aware of....that would help the numbers too :) Enjoy that beast :cheers:
Sounds like you have one of the stronger ones, and the numbers are definitely within reason. With only the mods in my sig, I dynoed just a little less than you through an A4. A little more mod work and you'll be running with Z06s :yesnod: :cheers:
Sounds about right considering your good 60'. It's definately a strong car. I only have 2.73 gears and an A4 but I had to gut the cats to get your mph. Unfortunately I wont be able to get a better 60' unless I get a converter so i have to wait for some cooler 65deg temps to try one last time for my 12.50s before I mod anything else (personal goal). :)

I'm 26 and we called the cars a freak. Guess I'm over the hill too. :jester
I am actually looking to go with headers and x-pipe and tuning (PCM has been FLASHED twice by the dealer so far, i dont think it has any tuning done to it).
I just was not sure what else may have been done to it - there is a guy at work who has the identical car with the exact mods with him having a few additional and he is only around 325rwhp 335rwtq at his last dyno.
I almost feel obligated to the car to mod it up since it looks like it is responding well to everything :D
The true test will be when i get the headers and we are going to go to the same dyno on the same day.
on a side note my little sisters 87 pulled 225 and 335 with just a drop in k&n and Flowmasters.. she's running 13.9's @ 100 2.1 60's
