Baseline Dyno done today
Hello!
In preperation for my head cam header swap we decided to do a baseline Dyno on my 97 M6 that only has a borla catback and a blackwing intake, i figured about 300rwhp, but it surprised us a little and put down 311 rwhp and 318 torque, IMO it seems kinda strong, and a good indication that all is working well, BTW car has 57k on it, what do you think?

Good numbers. My 99 did 299/310 to the wheels with heavy repro ZO6's and the original plugs, wires, and air filter in place.

I attribute my low numbers to the ultra heavy rear wheel/tire combo I had on when I hit the dyno. 295/35-18 GSD3's and Repro 18x10.5 ZO6 wheels. Wheels alone were nearly 10 lbs heavier than stock ones.
