Seems about spot on to me.. depending on what type of dyno. '01 Z06 was rated at 385HP at the crank. Say 16% drivetrain loss (16% of 385 = 61.6HP), so 323.4WHP just from a rough calculation. Dynojet I assume?

Those numbers actually sound about right for that year Z06 Corvette..

What gear did you dyno it in?

An intake and exhaust will wake her up and put you into the 340s hp wise.

01's topped out stock around 330, or just under.

my 01 did 344 with a bb prt catback. the catback doesnt really do much for the z06's in stock form since the titanium is pretty good. think you said you had the car for 2 months. have the normal basic things been done? how old is your air filter? how old are the spark plugs? how old is the fuel filter? any of these things could be causing issues. also the stock z06 air box is pretty restrictive so get an intake and see nice gains

On that note above, have you ever cleaned or checked your MAF? Did you have fans blowing on your engine during the dyno? What was your air/fuel at?

lol funny u say that...i needed to give it a tune up before i left...i knew this but didnt have the time to get it done...i just changed the oil, air filter, plugs and wires, along w/ complete fuel system cleaner and it already feels better on its start up....sooo im positive that those items hurt it some

Without tuning it sounds basically normal. I agree with V-series's advice a few mods, some tuning, you'll be happy.

Are you content with the performance of the car? If so then who cares what number you pulled off? You're making the power that most 01 Z06's will make. If you feel like the performance of the car is lacking, then mod up your car. If you're happy with the way it performs, but nuhappy about some graphical number...then don't do anything. Dyno's are just tools man, don't worry about what they say. Make sure that you're car is working well and your happy with it, but the numbers in the end shouldn't dictate you.
