Thumbs up Magnacharger C6 Vette Results!

Wow, what a week of thrashing trying to get this Corvette ready to attend the Year One show this weekend. Thanks goes out to Mike at Icon Autosports for assisting with the cam, exhaust, and blower installation. We worked to almost midnight twice this week. Conley's Performance Plus stayed open until 1am this morning dyno tuning the car on their Mustang chassis dyno. But, I'm happy to say the car is DONE....for now

Specs:
2005 Corvette Z51, 6-spd manual
230/230 .591/.591 114 CompCam, valvesprings, pushrods
LG Motorsports longtube headers with X-pipe (no cats)
Magnaflow catback system
Magna Charger supercharger with 42# injectors, low boost pulley.
stock shortblock, stock unported heads, stock fuel pump with Magnavolt booster.

The big pulley on this blower made a whopping 5.0 psi boost. Sounds somewhat low, but its safe I suppose. This one has a 3.4" pulley on it right now, I had a 2.90" pulley on my previous Magnacharger car.

Mustang Chassis Dyno, tuned with wideband O2 and HP Tuners:
509.88 rwhp, 456.56 ft-lbs

This Mustang Dyno is about 8-10% lower in numbers compared to the typical Dynojet brand dyno numbers. For comparison's sake, that means between 550-560 rwhp via Dynojet.

Not bad for only 5 psi and a safe A/F tune!

The torque line is amazing on this setup. At only 3K rpm, it hits over 400 ft-lbs (432-440 Dynojet) and goes nearly straight across the entire powerband.

Needless to say, this car feels completely different than before. I did some ~ahem~ test runs at 2am on a deserted backroad at 140 mph and it was scary fast. Raceweight is around 3385 with me in it.

I'll have some nice pics over the weekend, if anyone is going to the Year One show at Road Atlanta this weekend, stop by and check it out.

nah, stock dyno numbers are boring. haha. Most C6's pull around 345-350 rwhp on a Dynojet when stock.

Thanks for the last hour hints Keith. We wasted about 2 hrs looking for that dumb 5600 rpm cutoff, haha. Glad you were available for the help!

Sweeeet!

What is the butt-o-meter saying, C6 vs the old 69? Way faster?

69 was much slower, heavier, less aerodynamic. It was also louder. This car still has that refined Corvette feeling, but moves out hard.

I doubt I can run track times like the '69 though, hard to cut 1.4x 60' times in a Vette without breaking stuff.

Thumbs up

Dyno sheet attached. Doesn't show RPM very well on a Mustang Dyno chart, but the rpm on this graph ranges from 2900 up to 7000 rpm.
