[QUOTE=reasonable suspicion;1589340389]Jason,
what is the exhaust setup on this car?

LG 1/7/8 longtube headers, factory NPP exhaust with dual QTEC 3" electronic cutouts.

Cutouts made no difference on the dyno...

Before the car went to Katech, the only mods were headers and cutouts. The sound truly had to be heard to be believed! Can only imagine what it sounds like now. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ilies/rock.gif

I am the owner but I have not yet seen the car since it was completed. My employer has very strict rules about time off.

Default It's time to start

Nice Performance curve. It really comes to life above 3500 rpm.

Did the car have the Halltech CF112 for the baseline. I see it missing from Jasons build list.

My 08Z -427 is next up as car#77, Cant wait for mine to get finished

Stock headers? I ask because the torque is low and thought it may be due to stock exhaust. Unless the cam is really mild or there is not much compression

Heads are factory 11:1 compression. I move around the country frequently, and wanted to be able to run 91 octane if needed.

The baseline was with LG headers only and exhaust cutouts only.

Although the dyno shows a loss of low end torque, the K501 actually makes about 440 ft/lbs at 3500RPM. They just couldn't get an accurate reading on my car at low RPM when it was dyno'd. There are plenty of other dyno charts on the forum and the Katech Facebook page showing this.

Fabulous. From the sheet it's going to be incredibly fun and completely different than what it was. Huge gains everywhere. Wow!! Enjoy it!

Thanks Jim! Your car is an absolute monster!

I wish I could be at track attack 2015. I really want to be there, but can't spare the cash for that right now.

Nuclear, I'd be happy to deliver your car. No charge. No problem with my employer, as I have none. Would be very careful not to rev. it above seven grand and nothing above 175 mph.
