We've had several untuned, bone stock LS3 Corvettes making more than 400rwhp. and some others that come in at 380rwhp.







This is a Pontiac G8 GXP - not a Vette but a full-blooded LS3

If they make 400 and over stock when they are certified 430 from the factory.
The Dyno is measuring high as they make about 370-375 on a Dyno that measuring correctly.
Hp loss is about 12 percent or about 50 hp IMO!

I guess all dyno's read high then... how do you know what the power loss is through the drivetrain? It's obvious it's more efficient than that... yes the motor is certified 430/436 SAE, but that's not everything.

Dynos are not reading high. Quarter mile trap speed & weight = wheel horsepower.

Some of these Vettes make 400 at the wheels - I don't care what GM claims.
