Default Dyno Sheet Question

Ok I bought this car recently and the seller gave me a stack of papers with the car. One of the the papers was this dyno sheet. Does the power curve look good? The Dyno used was a dynapack. The car has the following mods...

- Granetelli Cold Air Intake
- BBK Ceramic Coated Shorty Headers
- Corsa Touring Stainless Steel Cat Back Exhaust
- LS6 Intake Manifold
- Stock heads ported and polished with Patriot Valve Springs, Comp Camp Push Rods, Titanium Retainers
- Comp Cam Part#54-414-11
Duration 269/273
Duration @.50 216/220
- SLP Performance 2600 Stall Converter
- SLP Performance 3.42 Rear Gears

Dyno Sheet:

thoes numbers look pretty good to me without long tube headers and different heads and a Auto trans. my 04 Z06 6spd did 380hp 358tq, so you are stock Z06 HP and more then Stock Z06 TQ. Stock Z's run well into the 12's at the track.. you should be close to the same as a Z06 at thoes numbers.

Looks good. If you ever get bored you can always create your own graph of the numbers in Excel so you don't have to look at that sea of numbers.

They do look good. The previous owner was conservative on his purchases.
5900 rpm pull ? Would like to see the pull up to at least 6200 ?!? Was looking pretty good up to the 5900

Car is also running fat as hell and could use a better tune... You could have 20 rwhp/rwtq just in getting the car leaned out... 12:1 instead of 12.8:1.... Plus any timing adjustments..


Parts are conservative as people mentioned, and any type of stall will eat up power on the dyno if its unlocked...







Stalled auto cars will never be dyno queens, but they are always track kings...

Why buzz it higher when the power was already dropping?
On the AF ratio, perhaps that's what it liked? No guarantee leaner would make more power

Very good numbers for an extremely mild build. I bet it's a blast to drive. All done by 6kRPM...nice!

Thanks for the responses guys. I am gonna put an ECS blower on it in December. Then have ECS retune it. I want more power but not crazy maybe around 500 rwhp. I wanna try to keep my stock tranny for a while since it only has 16,000 miles on it.

I personally do not agree with that statement, yes some fail, but we produce a couple of these cars per week and the transmissions hold up.
A good portion of trans life is in the tune, and most of our customer have the stock trans in their cars for many years after the SC goes in.

I defer and stand corrected.

Even with a steady diet of drag racing with drag radials?

Would like to see the trans tune changes.

I wonder if the torque will still he higher than the HP after the supercharger? I'll mainly be on the street but some drag strip action. I wanna do a before and after on the dyno and at the strip with the same tires. I'm sure if I beat the crap out of it it wouldn't last but most of the time when I stomp on it is on the highway or a long straight road.

The run was made with an unlocked converter. Locked, it would look like a manual transmission chart.
