Default My C6Z dyno vs my old cam'ed LS3 dyno

My cam'ed LS3 was hit and total'ed about 3 months ago and I replaced it with an 08 C6Z. Mods on the Z are a Halltech Killer Bee intake and a 160t-stat on the 100% stock factory tune. The mods on my old C6 coupe were intake/headers/exhaust/t-stat/vengeance cam.

The numbers for my Z are in blue and the numbers for my old LS3 coupe are in red. The pic was taken with my Iphone, so I know its not the best. I was shocked at what the Z laid down, but this dyno I have been using for 10yrs and its been dead on for my power figures with 4 different cars. My old LS3 coupe made 385whp/378wtq stock, 416whp/418wtq w/ bolt on's, and the numbers you see in red w/ a cam on this dyno. All of those numbers are RIGHT in line, if not slightly lower than what everyone else seems to get, so its definitely legit.

Wow man...That C6 was just doomed from day one I suppose. Glad to see you picked up a nice ride.

Sucks that your LS3 got totalled but I would imagine you're MUCH happier with the Z. I know I would be, especially after seeing the same power with pretty much nothing done to it in a lighter, better looking car.

the only time the LS3 goes higher is for a split second at very high rpms, just to amke a few hp difference. C6Z looks better everywhere else. have fun man, that car is sounds like a blast already.

Bet you will get at least another 10 rwhp with a tune! Sweet!

You are comparing a 6.2L to a 7.0L, looks like that LS3 made some pretty good torque for what it was. Of course with the same mods the LS7 will walk all over it. Cool to see how close they really were to each other though.

Good comparison, I like seeing stuff like this so you can see exactly where displacement makes a difference. Future mods for the Z are?
