C6 vs. 03 Z06 dyno graph
We just picked up our C6 project car, and dynoed it with only 26 miles. The graph compares the dyno numbers of our 03 Z06 project car, that had only 32 miles on it at the time of the dyno. The stock tune in the Z06 is farther off than the C6, but the comparison is interesting none the less.
353.5 Blue Run is the C6
350 Red Run is the 2003 Z06
Minutes later the C6 did its second pass at 355RWHP.
We plan on installing headers, exhaust, some sort of induction, ported cylinder heads, mild cam or 1.8 rockers, and possibly nitrous. You will be able to find more info on the build up at www.c6speed.com

Thanks for the info. It looks like your C6 is not as pig rich as some of the others that I have seen posted. That may be why yours is dynoing a little higher than some of the others posted.

Also, it is an M6 car.

Considering that LS2 doesn't have variable valve timing or inlet runner length, the torque curve is impressively flat.
Most engines have to use one or both of the above techniques to achieve this kind of torque bandwidth.

From driving all the C-6 Corvette coupes 6 spd. auto with 3.15 and 2.73, F-55, base suspension with the exception of the 06 Z-06 and the Z-51 equipped Corvette the Z-16 has the most power in acceleration as far as seat of the pants feelin. The Z-16 is awesome.
