Go to the track and see what it traps There are other factors like driver, traction and weather, but im sure there are plenty of fellas here who ran their C5Z's in all kinds of conditions. It'll get ya in the ballpark as to what you might be putting down

Oh, one thing I forgot to mention which I just thought about as I was falling asleep last night.

A stock 2009 Z ran 450 HP on that same dyno immediately after my car which leads me to believe my car does have a different cam in it at the very least.

I've seen stock C6Z06's make 435 on DJ's. Sounds like a pretty happy dyno.

Even 390 would be pushing it. More like 375-380 rwhp.

DIN may be 45 HP too high
