Default 2008 C6 Z06 graph, small boltons

Hey guys. tuned an 08 C6 Z06 this AM and had some good results, so I thought I'd post the graph. The owner was very happy with the modding outcome himself.

The first pull at 423/395 was stock with about 500 miles on it. The owner added a catback (sorry, forget which, but I could ask him if someone wanted to know) and a Hurricane CAI, (a lid!) and that comprises the second pull (also 5K miles later) this AM at 454/427. After tuning the car made 475/442. It made a few more up top being a bit more aggressive on the fueling and timing, but it wasn't worth keeping. Wonder how much headers would be worth at this point?




forgot I had this pic of it:

Holy God! Those LS7s love the mods! I bet it can hit 500 with a set of headers.

It can for sure hit 5xxrwhp with headers and redoing the tune. Ive seen some squeak by with it so I dont see why it wouldnt help.

Ive seen medium sized cam bolt on z's drop 550+rwhp so your definately right on track

Damn LS7's! If I didn't have only 13,000 miles on my car I would be very interested in installing one.

So far it seems the 08s are seeing the biggest gains in terms of a "only tune" cars. Saw a tuner post a graph showing the 08 he tuned was running like 10:5 afr on the dyno run. I had a 07 and I remember mine was 442rwhp stock with a 11:5 afr

Very nice results bro! Didn't you find the new tables in the LS7's confusing at first?

Not too bad, spent an evening digging through a file before the first one I did. At first glance the HO table looks a bit funny through WOT until you see the accompanying PE/COT adder. I like the Maf arrangement. This car was in the mid 10s AFR overall and touched down into 9something:1 for a brief instant.

Thanks for the nice words, wish I had one too!

Those cars are nasty, when i got my car dyno tuned. There car that the tuner just got done with was a brand new Z06. He put down something along the lines of about 425-430 at the rear wheels. With just a CAI and a tune it dynoed at 478 rwhp.
