Default 2006 C6 Z06 Twin Turbo with Pictures and Dyno Graphs

I thought some of you guys might enjoy this, and wanted to share.


Stock LS7, Twin GT35R Turbos, Lingenfelter 100mm MAF, Modified BB Exhaust (catback) 5.8 psi of boost!! The car only had 1,404 miles on it. The Torque output was 631 ft/lb at 3600 RPM.

I do not think many people have done this set-up with these turbos yet. I was impressed with the car!

The customer was from Alabama but the car was put together by Walker Morgan from Morgan Performance Fabrication

He has some of the best fab/welding skills I have seen. Super clean work!


The car made a 58X HP pull but got heat soaked by the end of the day! I tuned the car with HP Tuners Software.


I will try to get a video of one of the pulls up later!

The same run showing the boost pressure.

Any chance we'll see what it does with a forged, low compression LS7?

Yes, The owner of the car was already talking about wanting to build the engine for higher boost. And think the car only has 1,400 miles on it.

Wow that is great power for just 5.8psi but any chance those turbos may be a tad on the small side for that engine?? Why does the torque and hp dip down at the end of the graph??? Anyways, it is probably one heck of a monster on the street...Good job

Not liking that curve AT ALL. Looks like it is not working as it should. Something is wrong.

Absolutely correct guys!

Peak torque occurs very early in the pull. On the street lugging the car in 3rd at 1500 RPM the car bolts forward at the slightest provocation of the throttle. It is simply amazing.

The end of the graph actually falls off a bit more than it should. There is an RPM discrepancy at the very end of the graph due to the tires slipping from about 150 mph to redline at 157 mph. I used roller speed to get the RPM. If I had used an inductive pick-up on the car we would not have had that problem. All the other RPM points look to be correct; just not the end of the run. That was a little to fast for me anyway... even sitting still on a dyno.



thank you

I would have to agree with you 100%. The tq should go up instantly like it does. Then hang there till the end. Hp drops off way to fast. The motor is just getting started when it falls off. Looks like the motor is being choked.

Tire spin at that rpm range with only 550ish hp? Makes no sense unless your rollers are geased pigs.

It is not the power level sir, it is actualy the roller speed that would cause this.


Dyno Dynamics Dynos use small 8 or 10 inch rollers; unlike the big roller inertia dynos. The tires get very hot on these dynos also as the front roller has a knerled surface for traction. Once the tires get so hot the surface of the tire actualy gets slick to the touch. There is a lot of tire deflection at 157 mph. Not a whole lot of tire making contact at that point anymore. Most dynos use an inductive pick-up for a Tach signal. I just did not use it for this car. Also the numbers registered on these dynos tend to read from 12% - 17% lower than the Dynojet dynos (depending on the model)so many people are used to seeing.


thank you

All six pounds of boost are available at 2700 which is fun for street driving, but HP at 6400 rpm is down almost 100 HP from its peak back around 5500 rpm, which isn't good.

those GT35R's never make any power for some reason

06 ZO6's can make 550 with a cam and headers

A certain 1200rwhp Ford GT would disagree. He recently made 1400rwhp with a 50shot and full tilit boost. Now he has GT40's.

Seeing that several of the LS7s have come apart with a new cam, I would guess those weak stock pistons are going to get tired of staying in the cylinders pretty soon. If the car is actually leaned on..............

I would say the reason for the power drop off is becuase of the cams possibly. Maybe you need something with a higher duration and lift. This is the only reason I see being for the drop off.

I'm a little surprised as well... aren't the APS LS2 kits comperable to this?
