Default New Member Intro, 2008 Stock Z06 Dyno! Highly Impressed!

Like I said boys and girls, just picked up a stock 2008 last week and managed to get it to the dyno before letting myself modify anything.

Well, I take that back... I rigged my own switch to open and close the butterfly valves

Ill attach the image of the dyno, all the 3 runs were back to back, normal tire pressure, filter still in. 1st run with valve switch off and not quite up to operating temp, the other two with the valves open full time.

Needless to say, I'm a happy camper. Intake, stat and tune for 500?

Thanks!

Dyno operators said it was mainly due it not being up to operating temp on the first run. I think most ppl see what 4-6rwhp after 3500rpms if that with them open? Regardless, its running extremely strong so its all good

Time for some track!

Welcome to the forum!

These cars make more power as the oil gets up to temp. Mine did the same thing on the dyno.
