Default Stock LS3 engine Dynamometer

This is my graph from today. I ran this as a baseline for comparison for after I install my Pfadt headers. I know there has been a lot of curiosity about Pfadt's new header and I'm going to do what I can to contribute to shared results.

I figure my car will make a good mule since my engine will remain stock for hard parts, other than the exhaust. I believe in the Donaldson filter and will never change that.

I'll provide the results after the header install and tune.

For now this is my ls3 dry sump 6 spd bone stock except Corsa Xtreme.

A bit hard to read. Peak TQ 385. Peak HP 387

Those are typical results for an LS3 stick shift car. Mine did 400rwhp bone stock. Try to use the same dyno for your after comparison. I'm getting my Pfadt headers installed right now and I have a appointment at 2pm to have it dyno tested untuned. I'm at 413 rwhp with a ported intake manifold and Callaway CAI.

Default Dyno numbers

Check this link for some dyno numbers.

Our club does a Dyno Shootout once a year and records each run and posts the data. There is a 2013 A6 in the list: 380 RWHP and 377RWTQ on a Dynojet dyno
