Expected Dyno Numbers
I tried this out in the Z06 section but thought I would post here for more input.
I have an 01' Z, 228/228 cam, stage 2 ported ls6 heads, dynotech LT's, hi-flow cats, stock ti exhaust, shaner ported TB, hurricane intake and msd wires.
What kind of power should I be making?
Thanks guys.
The car only put down 377/370 on a Dyno Jet the other day. Which I think is very low.
Besides the Tune, what other factors could cause the low numbers? I've seen similar setups making 425-430.

Well it was a messed up situation, I took the car there to get it tuned because it has a nitrous tune now with a few degrees of timing backed off. So we did the baseline pull and then they figured out they didnt have software to tune it with . So they didnt charge me for the dyno run but also didn't give me the dyno sheet either.
I do remember seeing that as my cuve was going up, it had random dips down and back up probably about 5 or 6 dips at peak power.. but I didn't feel the car missing?
I'm sure the graph would help show would I'm talking about but any ideas on what could have done this?
I feel stupid posting this but I'm pretty sure the defroster was left on , could the dips have been the compressor kicking on and off?

Needless to say I will do my research on the shop before I waste a trip to get it tuned next time.
But thanks for getting me worried now, What do you think could be the possible problems?
PM me if you'd like.
Thanks
