Default 2008 Corvette LS3 580rwhp/499rwtq

My dads car was just finished up at Vector Motorsports. His only mods are a mild cam, LG lontube headers, ZO6 mufflers w/ NPP in a box, #60 injectors and a P-1SC Procharger (7lbs). I don't the a/f or timing.

His car baselined with 368/363 on a Mustang dyno

New numbers on the same dyno are 580.1/499.4

A 210 rwhp increase. Not too shabby.

Here is a video of the dyno

sic, just plain sic! Congrats on the new found power, as I'm sure she'll be a lot of fun, and a heck of a surprise to anyone wanting to "try her."

That's some good power. The torque from 4500 - 6500 looks very strong.

"His only mods" - Sounds like a pretty stout assortment. Those superchargers really work!

The cam they put in was a 228/232 .538/.574 115+3 I had the pleasure of driving it the other day and WOW does this car fly. The exhaust is plenty loud with the ZO6 mufflers and a lope too.

Can't wait to race my dad!!!

Yeah that's what I was thinking LOL...that's almost like saying: "I added a K&N filter to my stock Vette, now I've got every mod available for this car."

Nice power either way.

I would have expected more from that combination. I bet if you went with the Novi you would have broken the 600 mark.

Strong car though, now turn up the boost.

If it was a manual tranny and on a Dynojet, it should of broke the 600 rwhp mark. We're not complaining though.
