Dyno Tune ?
looking for some experience here.
So i am new here, just purchased my Z06-2006.
The guy i purchases it from put a Borla Exhaust and a Hurricane intake and claims he Dyno Tuned the car and it produced 563HP.
He did not produce a sheet, "it was a while back and doesn't have it"
Is that number even reasonable for RWHP? He can't possibly be stating that he removed the engine and Dynoed it and got those numbers at the flywheel.
thoughts?

yeah thats why i asked, i been reading around here and noticed some heavy mod combo and numbers are around 563 rwhp....
So there no why mine with only Exhaust and Intake was making the same.
Don't get me wrong, i love my Z06, and it feels like a beast to me... but it was a bit of false advertising to sell it... so i wrote him an email.....

That kind of number would more than likely be crank horsepower. And even then that is a high number. Cold air, exhaust and tune would be a stretch at a 40 horsepower increase over the factory crank horsepower of 505.
