Sooooo. We all speculate that the Zs RWHP dyno will increase with a cold motor, which means either the drivetrain loss will drop (below 12.5%, unlikely with beefier parts, tires, etc.) or the (this) car is slightly underrated.

With tuning the IAT heat has much less of an affect on the power.
Our race car makes the best power on the 3rd pull even with the extra heat.
These cars will also be less affected by heat when they are traveling down the road.
I just didn't want to put the BIG number up without some explaination because I know that there will not be a 40 hp increase with just headers. I could be wrong though
We shall see when these cars have some time to get delivered around the country.
Also, I will have another car here this week or Monday to get a better base line number from.

PS, I don't think 12.5 is the correct number. And from our dyno tests over the years the percentage changes through out the pull. We have compared engine graphs to chassis graphs from the same engine and have seen (on a race car) any where from 11% to 14%. And that is a race car with straight cut and modified gears, lightened parts, 5" diameter clutches etc.
We have no idea how much the big stroker crank is affecting the rwhp numbers, nor do we know what the big 19inch tires and wheels are draging from the rear wheel numbers.
So, in effect, We just don't know yet.
But stay tuned and we all will find our over the next year or so.

Maybe with some tuning that 40 is not out of the question Good luck with it all and if I can make it up there I will most definately stop by and thanks for taking the time and explaining everything!!! Top notch, Lou!

Very impressive LG!!
Sign me up for:
1. LG Longtubes with cats and all sensor hookups;
2. Intake that will not unduly suck water or dirt;
3. Mufflers with no resonance (like Corsa Touring) (or stock if they will work) and not too loud;
4. PCM tuning on the dyno on my car in California!
5. Special CF Group Buy Rate!
My car should be here in 10-14 days!
I am "IN"!!!
{I already sent you and email with my contact information}

Just for fun, I pulled the air filter out and did a quick pull. Engine was warm But the car has been sitting for over 30 minutes.
Halltech, where is that high flow CAI when you need one.
What a nice car.

They are high flow cats but we get them directly from the manufacturer rather than Random.
they seem to work well. We will pull the cats off and make a couple of pulls tomorrow.
Thanks

Tuning will solve this easily.

Excellent numbers!! I think 1 7/8" headers or headers with stepped 1 3/4" to 1 7/8" primaries should be tried on this motor, though.
Lou, do you know for a fact that pre-production cars have "modified" tuning? I don't think this is a fair comment at this time, as current GM test fleet vehicles have test numbers that line up very nicely with real world cars. In fact, the current C6 has many owners besting the magazine tests.

Safety Car
Drag racing take it right to the red line - 7K. Even though you've gone a split second past max power, your bringing the next gear in close to max and that's the quickest way to get down the track. An ideal run would hit red line in every gear and red line high gear right in the traps.

This is INSANE!! 
Get a LG Motorsports "Kit", maybe a mild cam, and perhaps a nitrous set-up, and have a mild daily-driving low 10 sec, road course incinerating, 25mpg MONSTER!!!
