If we are going to call bullshit, lets start with the picture in your sig. An Air Force fireman that has an M4 with an optic sight. Because we all know that when you arrive on the scene, you gotta secure the area with your bad self then put the fire out. Should be a brass pole in there. Freakin CF Trolls

Nice car and gain, OP. Sounds like some people are up in arms about a simple dyno sheet when you've made it clear you just want to enjoy your car. I say enjoy it exactly how you want to and don't listen to these guys that feel everyone needs to prove something rather than just having a simple, pleasant conversation about cars.

Thanks PewterScreaminMach I do intend to enjoy, really thats one of the reasons for so long, really didn't want to part of any bitch dicussions in Ls1 tech. Truth that was my dyno results before my exhaust and tune, so i felt good about reaching 400hp only 401 but i reached what i thought was realistic. As far as being called BS so what it is what it is, the problem with internet it always brings out some people trying to prove, i dont know what point, because you put something in writing and put it out there for everyone to see, while being behind computer screen, call it BS if thats your answer, in short it was a dyno day at G.R.E.A.D Performance shop with about 35 assorted cars,and about 25-35 people, i don't need somebody to speak for me or verify what it did, its just numbers who cares just trying to be freindly conversation, its my car, i enjoy it, not here to prove anything, Hope everyone here on LS1 TECH has a great day!!!

If that's the case, why bother posting the dyno sheet at all? Obviously if you need to make a post about your dyno numbers, they mean something to you.

I'm a Machine Gunner by trade(0331). When I was in Ramadi 06/07 I was the Designated Marksman and got to do some stuff with the STA Plt. Its always fun to reach out and touch someone when they dont know where the hell it came from......

No **** my brother (yun gunz) was in Ramadi (Hit) in 06/07 attached to you guys with 1st Armored. Small freakin world. I was in Taji then too lol 06/07. But it was boring here for me. But I don't wish on the **** going at that time. Little bro got 2 PH's from out there but those are his stories and I will keep the OP's thread from going too crazy.

You're funny yet incorrect. I made that signature about two years ago. The Air Force does qualify with the M4 and if you deploy to a hostile area you do carry a weapon while responding. I see that you're military and should know that. Ever heard of an ORI? So... nice try. It cracks me up if you really think I'm trying to be cool by having a picture of a gun in my signature. I just liked the picture of the M4 and didn't want an eagle or something. Chill out brotha! We've both deployed, big deal. lol Thanks for your service.

I never said the entire Air Force. I said you. And yes being deployed is a big deal when not all of your buddies/family members make it back, or not all in one piece. I do not appreciate you attempt at sarcasm. I work with the USAF here in Taji, they all carry M9's, and they operate outside the wire with us quite a bit. They are not Fireman.

What did you really expect with a comment like this? Grow up. You started this BS with the direct shot at my signature. I just gave you the correct information. Depending on the location firefighters do carry weapons. Your comment at me stating how I probably think I'm cool crap is silly. No sarcasm when I thanked you for your service... get out of your negative mindset and you wouldn't see it that way.

Back to the original thread please. I still do think this is the highest rated bolt on Z06 on the dyno that I've seen, which is a good thing for the OP.

That comment was a reply to the fact you said you wanted to call bullshit on the OP's dyno but never stated any reason or justification as to why other than the fact you never seen that before. Its actually quite common. You could have simply said "wow thats pretty good, never seen that kind of number before great job." Instead you practically tell the OP he is full of ****. Since I know the car, the OP, the tuner and played with a few vettes myself it chapped my ***.

If you have any further comments on the matter take it to PM's.
