Best way to account for power from mods is to test on the same day with same dyno...
Your plot shows STD, which is typically more generous than SAE. Smoothing at 5 tends to hide things as well.
GL and I hope your investment provides the returns you had hoped for.

Well there ae allot of naysayers on the forum and some don't even have c8z06's that scream the loudest about no gains. LOL. However I think it will be pretty interesting to see. Its weird how some combo's get gains and others not so much.
Lingenfelter just dropped a vid the other day. They got 49 ft/lbs of torque and 23 RWH P in the mid range where you drive the most and will feel it plenty. I believe it was 9 RWHP at the top, but no one is expecting anything there anyway for the bolt ons no ecu change.
This was achieved with Headers, CAI, and new exhaust with mufflers.

I agree that it is a decent amount of money to spend for the possible gains. I was really motivated more by the exhaust note versus the gains. And since the intake comes off for cat install; and same as TB’s … why not. Some might think the amount of money is crazy to spend for my wheels… again, my choice. I like them, so that’s what matters.
No; I won’t get the gains per dollar like I did with my Turbo S by doing a tuner , exhaust and cat delete… but this is a different car, different set up.

Its popular. I see a dealer selling a brand new MY26 1lz that they have added the exposed carbon fiber aero, CAI, Catback exhaust,wheels, lowered and its a full warrantied the car. I think its refreshing that you can get the modded car thats warrantied by the dealer. Pretty cool. Thats the dealer to take your car too if you have it lightly modded.

Some cars can make more power as it adapts to the mods vs an immediate before and after. I believe I only ever saw one post or video that mentioned this for the Z06 so not sure if that's applicable here.

Yeah there was one individual that had that problem and had to dyno the car again like 150 miles down the road and it had picked up the gains they expected after the ecu was stabilized.
