Default Dyno Progress .. C6 With Mods

My car is an '05 Z-51 4L65E automatic. The graph shows the stock baseline, then first and second rounds of mods.

The first round of mods were LG Pro Longtubes w/3" X-pipe, Corsa Sports, Halltech Stinger and LS2 Edit tune.

The second round of mods were E.T. Performance 215 heads, Comp 224/228 114 cam, F.A.S.T. intake (not ported), Underdrive pulley, and Yank SS 3200 C6 converter. Again, LS2 Edit dyno tune by Jeremy Formato.

As you can see, the mods make a LOT of difference!!! From 311RWHP, to 360RWHP, to 444RWHP.

If your friends car is a stick, that would explain the difference in power. 1955 belair has an automatic. 340 rwhp sounds about right if not a tad bit low for a stock LS2 Vette.
Also keep in mind that theres no standardization on dynos, some are "generous".

Drives fine .. but the high stall converter requires more RPM's for sure.

They are what they are .. all my pulls have been done HOT, and the baseline pull was a 97 degree day right after I drove there. I saw another C6 auto two weeks ago on the same dyno pull 323 on a 78 degree day after the car had cooled down from the drive.

Yes 311 does sound awfully low, I think the average for an automatic C6 is somewhere in the 335rwhp/340rwtq range, on a Dynojet dyno at least.

I would have expected around 320 for an auto and 340 for a manual.

Not even close. Peak numbers yes, but across the power band no.

Good comparison. Thanks. I find the torque your 366 is putting out over the powerband amazing.
