I don't see how just adding LGM headers could get you to this number.

I see the key now.

He's using something other than the normal Dynojet or Mustang dynos.

My car pulled 340hp and 357tq with a Stinger intake and LG headers on a Dynojet, that's it, no other mods.

However, on the Tony_C5_04 branded sphincter-meter dyno I pulled 449hp 412 torque. These are corrected numbers, and as nobody else has a "Tony_C5_04 branded sphincter-meter dyno" you can't prove I didn't.

Man, he got that claim in yet again : Lou is an incredibly persistent guy... probably why he seems to excel at whatever he sets out to accomplish :

But as he said, 430 from LTs *and* cam. I don't know what it is, but we don't know the whole story about this car.

Oh, I missed it just above. Not a Dynojet. Comparing numbers from one Dynojet to another is difficult enough, but when you start using other dyno numbers, you just can't compare A to B.

Nuke61,

Was that slick or what??

You are correct that different brands of dyno numbers do not compare easily. But I like Tony's "Sphincter Meter". I have one of those also.

Gooseman: good work, I will send the check out right away.

Thanks guys,

Lou G

PS, I use only our LG Pro Long Tube headers on our race car and we have the fastest trap speed of all the vettes.
Next race, Sears Point Napa Calif, next week on the 18th then Portland on the 25th. See you there.

I'm with you on this one. This guy posted the same crap over at the Z06vette.com site. He claimed he'd post the dyno printout. Well, it's been over five days now and I haven't seen it yet. Have you?

This is a perfect example of why you should never use raw numbers. You originally said the difference is "Usually 7-9 Lower than STD," so even with all your experience you were off by a factor of 2.
