Default Z51 Dyno Run

hi, I am wondering if anything needs to be done to the Z51 when running on the dyno? I know some cars (Porsche) will get error codes from dyno runs due to diff in rear wheel speed to front.


I am getting the car dynode to determine power/weight for POC run class for track day.


thanks

You will likely throw a few codes from a dyno run yes. But just drive the car for 5 mins or when it gets turned on/off a couple of times they will clear.

I dyno'd and didn't have any codes at all. ('15 Z51)

just my experience. If you do, just do what these guys say it's no big deal.

the dyno man did not show up at the track.


the 4th session of the day I finally got the stability control off in track mode and the car was much better to drive. the 4th session happened to be a "fun" race for POC and I was the only street car in that session. I only use this car a few times per year at the track as I race a GT4 clubsport at club races. The Z51 ran great and all I have is the recommended track prep with 18" rims with NT01s. I would benefit from a better brake pad.


The car is really fun to drive and very user friendly.




POC Red fun race
