Pro-Dyno day Pics
A few members of Metrolina Corvettes attended this dyno day. Myself with my 05 C6, Peter with his 85 C4, and Jeff with his C5 all went.
I had a good time, and the event was organized really well. Lots of horsepower there, and LOTS of fast cars.
BTW be on the lookout for that CMPD blue Cobra mustang, its got some 550 some hp.
Now for the pics...
CMPD undercover Mustang Cobra
Kyle's Procharged Z06.... what a sick car.
As for my results, 373 hp and 374 tq at the rear wheel, I really cant complain!!

Had a fun day there yesterday. Btw, the name is Peter, not Patrick, you were close, lol.
Have trouble remembering names too, so do not feel bad, heck until yesterday, the only name that I knew you by was bonecrusher.
Went home shortly after, so that I could see what I needed to do to fix it, so did not see you do your pull. Sounds like you got yourself some good numbers there.
Went over to my friends house and we put my car on his scanner, and yes, it was way lean.
Got lucky, had some other chips for my car, put one of the other ones in and it is now where it needs to be.
Guess I will have to go back one day soon and see what my numbers are now.

Sounds like you guys had a good time. I don't know why I am always surprised that my numbers in the C3 are better than those of many C4's and C'S (now Z06's are out of my range) ..... guess I should just get over the model thing and just think about what's under the hood .... I keep forgetting that my car is a 2007/2008 C3 .... a huge change from the original 1974 C3. This time I think we got it right! I'm getting itchy for another "FUN" run!

WOW.... Patrick/Peter, at least I was close with the "P" hahaah..
I've updated those post to reflect this.
It was nice seeing you again, the car running better with the new chip?

Just wanted to add one other bit from the day that I found to be amusing.
There was an old Nova there (you can see it in the upper right picture of the yellow ZO6 above my post) that was a drag only car.
Everyone in the garage (about 20 people) left to watch the Nova start-up and pull onto the dyno. The car was loud enough that you had to hold your ears just while it pulled onto the ramps (open headers will do that!). The slicks on the back were about 25 inches wide and the engine was deafening.
The guy made his first pull N/A, which resulted in 380-rwhp.
380-rwhp?
Yes, 380-rwhp.
This car sounded like the seventh seal was being broken in preparation for armegeddon, yet Craig's nearly stock Z51 put out nearly the same power. I couldn't get over it.
The guy made a couple of more runs on the dyno spraying what I assume was a 100 shot since his numbers jumped up to 480-rwhp range. Still, I was not prepared for such low numbers for that car. I thought it was going to be closer to 800-rwhp or more.
Just goes to show that I can't tell too much about a car just by listening to it!
Craig, it was good to meet and hang with you. Hopefully RD won't get in the way of next weekend.
