The 436 number seems low if it had intake, headers and exhaust then. I don't know as much about LS7s but I thought they usually dyno 440-450 rwhp in stock form?

Stock numbers seem low. I watched one put down 465 with just a tune.

Remember a dyno is a tuning tool. They all read differently.

Most people forget that a dyno is there to show you how much you gained from start to finish. A tool for tuning and dialing in a vehicle after modifications have been made.

Seems about right to me. I would figure with the kooks and cai it would be around 470rwhp and 60rwhp from a cam swap seems about right. Man I love those LS7s.

The car had full bolt ons when it made 436/412.

The gain was 95/70 to the tires.

How can an 07 z06 that makes minimum 430 rwhp stock even on a mustang dyno only put down 436/412 with full exhaust and intake? Was it running on 6 cylinders?

No doubt you do amazing things and the cam gains are real but there's no way that 436/412 was properly tuned with those bolt ons.

Nonetheless, the final results are nice.

I do not know. The car has never been in our shop.

The results you see are what the car did with bolt ons and the stock cam versus those same bolt ons and a custom cam. Running on all 8 cylinders.

Our SNS Stage 3 camshaft(cathedral port) picks up 70rwhp/40rwtq over the stock cam in cam only trim. How is out of the realm of possibility for a LS7 with heads that go 325-330cfm(versus 225-230 for LS1 heads) from the factory to not pick up 90/70?

I think you guys are reading into the numbers too much.

Dyno's are tuning tools. This is why you make base line pulls, and then re-dyno after the modifications were made. The start and end number does not matter nearly as much as the gain from start to finish.

Hey martin - i definitely don't disbelieve the increases - you guys do great work and have followed you and the shop for a while. Agreed dyno is a tool as well - but that's extremely low power for those bolt-ons. The bolt on numbers are what a z06 should do at MINIMUM even on a mustang dyno from the many I've seen. Either way the tune could've been off but no doubting the actual increase after you guys got your hands on it

This is actually a Dyno Jet 224XLC which is the same machine we have at our shop. This is unlike your "normal" Dyno Jet everyone is used to.

The 224XLC has an Eddy Current brake. A Mustang Dyno, Dyno Dynamics dyno, SuperFlow and others have Eddy Current load cells.

Of course this will lower the numbers recorded by the dyno due to the Eddy Current load cell.
