Yeah buddy those seem a little high! or are you a Z06 then it wouldn't be.

But for a standard LS1 it would seem that your numbers could be out there!

Unless when you bought the Vette (If used that is) the previous owner could have done some heads and a mild cam!

Which Dyno shop did the dyno? Which model Dyno did the shop use as well?

Let me know because if they are real that is so awesome and you should be happy and satisfied!

Put this in the General section too!

So we can get some feed back from the guys and you also could cal Al at LAPD and ask why it's high

but post in the general section too - Okay!

Thanks,Matt

You know John come to think of it it is possible that someone did a LS6 cam and Heads on your Vette!

You really wouldn't notice that, but again do you have LT's and x-pipe too?

Those TQ numbers are really awesome I mean 418 RWTQ! SWEET!

I am really curious! keep me informed and shoot me some more responses to those questions!

Thanks,Matt

I think those numbers aren't right. Even if it was a Z06, they'd be high. Are those rwhp numbers, are they sae corrected. A Z06 stock is about350 rwhp. I love your torque numbers though. For your sake, I hope their right, but I've never seen those kind of numbers on any c5 with those mods. Numbers can always be messed with though. Sorry, just don't believe it. My guess would be 315-325 maybe on a c5 with those mods. The vararam won't really show on the dyno. The airbridge and tb would give a little. Hope for your sake I'm wrong!

thats not a 248c dynojet like most will see. it's a different type of dyno altogether and shows some sort of extrapolated "flywheel" result

Dyno numbers are WORTHLESS. Take it to the track, only real way to see how fast the car is.

John shoot another shot of the paper but do an overhead shot or a directly over the paper facing down.

Thae angle is throwing me off!

Can you ask the shop the type of Dyno or make they are using?

Thanks,Matt

That's a Dyno Dynamics and those numbers do appear to be estimated flywheel numbers, however we need to hear from the shop or tuner to be sure.

Well, I'd find a real tuner and take the car over there. This guy is really giving you The mods you show will have very minimal impact on power and torque, on a dyno. Find a reputable tuner and have him take a look at the car and give you an SAE and smoothed run. The numbers won't be even close to what you're seeing here, unless the car was modified prior to your ownership, but they will be real. Take about 80% of each of the numbers and that will put you pretty close to what I expect you actually have at the rear wheels.

If you look at the lower lines, they seem to represent what a stock c5 would make at the flywheel, about 340-345hp and 350-360 tq.
That's why it seems a bit strange.
Those numbers are stock c5 z06 territory at the wheels.
Anyway, if they are legit rw figures, it's a strong car.
I'd also try another well-known shop to get another perspective, just out of curiosity.
You're in CA, there should be someone near you that does alot of vettes.

I agree. Flywheel numbers for a stock LS1 are close to what a stock 2002+ Z06 dynos at the rear wheels.

Dyno dynamics can read high. We have one in VA that tends to read very high sometimes. They are a diff. program than say a dynojet and the parameters in the dyno, ie weather and such, are controlled by the user. The same dyno in the area saw an bone stock GTO with no mufflers make 400rwhp, they took it to a dynojet and it made about 350rwhp. But like was said, its all dyno "numbers."
