Default LMR Dyno's C7 corvette!

Initial Testing has begun. Even with our car still on the way we have found a way to begin some of our initial testing. Stay tuned for more updates!

Curious how that compares to stock LS3 and LS7 cars.

Nice! I bet with engine break-in, there is more power to be had naturally.

LMR, in the video it looked like the LED lights in the headlight were pulsing. Do you know what that was from? I watched a few times, guess it could be a reflection of something but it was steady the whole time.

Watched it again and looks like the taillights are pulsing too?

Umm... The numbers I saw were 400whp 1st run and 402whp 2nd run. Technically that's over 400whp. Did I misread something lol?

LEDs look like they are pulsing on most cameras, because they are, but you can´t see it with the naked eye.

A dyno is a tuning tool, just because this one reads lower doesn't mean that the car isn't healthy or the numbers aren't accurate. It didn't sound like it was an auto nor could I see inside it, but I'd confirm that to make sure that wasn't why it dynoed lower.

The output of light from an LED is a certain frequency in hertz. Let's say it's 30 Hz from the LED and the camera recording it records at a common 24 frames per second. Every few frames recorded by the camera will not be in sync with the light source and thus a "blinking" occurs where the camera caught the LED in between cycles.

No need to pause it, just watch it all the way through.

Could the front plate frame be hindering the intake?

Hope it makes more than that after break in, especially for a manual.

12% driveline loss is normal for the C6 manual and it is the same driveline as the C7. 460HP X 88% = 404.8 HP.

Yes, I saw that comparison a number of days ago.
I would like to see the same comparison using data from LMR on their dyno with an LT1, LS3 and LS7.
