LAPD dyno day...
Woo-hooo 917 RWHP! Oh wait, that was total of all 3 runs, oh well. I wasn't planning on dyno-ing, but there was a slot open and now I have something to go from. Had a great tiime, cool to put names and faces together. Shawn, Al and their crew were pretty busy most of the day. Very nice facility, great friendly service and donuts and pizza! Thanks guys for giving up a Saturday off to get us all in.

Re: LAPD dyno day... (HIGHRPM)
...What numbers did some of the cars make? :cheers:
Run 1... 313.61 HP & 329.13 Ft-lbs
Run 2... 318.51 HP & 331.85 Ft-lbs
Run 3... 314.45 HP & 324.84 Ft-lbs
Not too shabby for essentially stock, another stock C5 auto, was in the 290 HP range.
It was a lot of fun. Thanks to Shawn and the crew at LAPD. One of our fine WCCC sponsors. Also nice to meet a few of my fellow forum members. I took some pics, but I'll have to post them later.

Re: LAPD dyno day... (b_pappy)
I had a great time. It was nice meeting Shawn and Al, and seeing "the tuner" again. Lots of good looking vettes and :cool: owners arriving all day long.
I didn't dyno my car this time, as LAPD's tuner had worked his magic last November and it pulled 324 RWHP and 338 RWTQ. And running the vette up to 140 MPH on the tuner's "test track" was more fun than a simulated 140 MPH on the dyno, IMO :D
I will be back in the future for Z06 springs and a harness bar and belts
