Default First time at the dyno...

Well, Friday morning I went to the dyno with a friend from the corvetteforum and a work friend of mine with an 01 z28 w/ head & cam package (Mike K.). I was pretty nervous at first, but once I saw the first run I was pretty happy. I ended up with 306.5rwhp/317.4rwtq w/ A/F @ 11.5:1. The car is 100% percent completely stock, except for euro headlights and fogs. Time to start saving for some performance mods....

Those are great numbers for a '99 C5 if they are correced and the car is actually 100% stock. A good 20 RWHP above average.

That power is the most I've ever seen, especially with the A/F at 11.5

I can also vouch for the car being stock.. I am trying to talk him into either going boost or bigger engine. The car was purchased recently from a older gentleman. There are NO mods on the car.
