Is this possible or is this guy full of shit
Easily doable....if you dont think so you must have been living under a rock for the past 10 years. intake and full exhaust...easily put down 400whp. Video does not look like nitrous...lol.
And an M6 is an internet acronym for "manual 6 speed" nothing to do with no RPO codes or anything... so if you say you have a m12 you sound like a fool, no one refers to stuff as rpo codes. Because there are only M6, A3, and A4

I agree with vetteboy... Don't get me wrong c5 z06's are fast cars but this guy is hiding some ****. Looks to me like its on the jug the way it hits so hard from a roll. He absolutely yanks the evo on the hit and that should not happen(if it's truly exhaust/intake only)!!

It may be possible but I would suspect the dyno he used is a very happy one.
Exactly what I said, he ate that evo, ad it sounds like it has a pretty big turbo.
Easily doable? Don't take me wrong, but you must be living under a rock. Lol. I've owned atleast 3 or 4 z06's each with intake and exhaust and None of them made 400rwhp. Each made around 370.

Ive seen Fbodys with just headers tuned putting down 370whp. With the LS6 heads, LS6 cam, it would easy. Learn to tune it then.
Dyno results are meaningless anyway... the track will tell you what it has.

I had my car dyno tuned at 393 whp on a dynapack at Synergy Motorsports. Almighty Rick (of Synergy) and a shop tech from Pacific Fab both agreed that I'd make 400 - 410 easily on other dynos.
Hot Rod magazine recently had an article on the reliability and consistency of dynos... long story short, they're neither unless you get someone who really knows what they're doing, which is apparently hard to find, even for Hot Rod magazine.
agreed-- I vote generous dyno.

So you installed headers/exhaust, intake manifold, and tuned it and only got 370whp in a manual trans car?

no, intake as in CAI. But those are on a mustang dyno, I will get my underdrive pulley in and tune it with someone that lives two hours away and we'll see how much it will pull. I really want to run this at the track but the track here closed down

This guy on another forum is predicting that his 03 Z06 has only intake, full exhaust, and a tune and is making 400rwhp. Is that possible?! He's been posting up video's of him beating some other 2.3 Cobra's, vipers, newer body style vettes with Same mods and he has been Smoking all of them. He also kept up with a 00 Camaro with LS6 H/C/I. I think that he has alot more mods than listed.
Where to start?
How unpolite is it to have this party and no invite?
You are such a rookie tool. You need to educate yourself before you continue to make yourself look like a fool. At least get the basics right.
-I dont have and 03
-I havent "predicted" that my car makes around 400rwhp, its dyno proven..
-I havent been "smoking them all", I win some and loose some...
You must be a high school punk or one of those mommy and daddy boys that just forks out money to "make my ride fast man.."
No spray or ported heads....
They are rated at 405 flywheel... A few fbodies running cams similar to the ls6 cam on crappy 241 heads are getting close to that 400hp mark with exhaust and tune... So I can see 400 hp on a zo6 with the 243's... Full exhaust, tune, intake, etc especially if he has all the little things that goes with it..
A good tune will get you an est. extra 50 h.p., most full exhaust systems i.e. full tube headers, no cats may give you 20-30 h.p. extra. I suppose it could be possible, even with just a CAI system as his intake gives mabye another 10-20 h.p. all that just added up to an est. 60-80 h.p. over bone stock. Otherwise, he is either spraying or he does have some mild cam work with it.
Thanks for schooling this tool for me, one less thing Ill have to correct him on..
I dont buy it, not for a second. There are a group of people who prefer to race, and then lie about what they have under the hood, its not the term sleeper, that refers to an element of surprise. I am talking about the folks who flat out LIE. If you ever watched the original PINKS on tv youseen this type of person regularly, lying and then takin folks cars, that is why they changed the format of the show. Lying and cheatinf go hand in hand. And anyone who tells you that they are gonna get another 50HP out of just a tune on a stock vette,,,,I aint buyin that .

Close your mouth and do a lot of reading and then, when you have grown hair on your nuts, you might have something useful to contribute..

Listen guy, if you dont know what you are talking about or arent sure, dont go around calling bullshit on people and throwing tantrums over it. Quite frankly it looks pathetic....

O hey, I didn't call any bullshit, I just wanted to know if it was possible which mostly everybody say it's over a good tune. Now you must have some pretty good tuners down there, But like I said earlier, I have to drive 2 hours to get one. I didn't trash talk you either, I said I would have called it bullshit If you beat a Newer modded Z06. I knew enough to be able to open a thread with a forum filled with car enthusiasts, So I did it, and nothing you could do about it. I don't see how asking a question makes me look like a fool.
Instead you came out calling bullshit, with a hollier than thou attitude and "well if my car didnt make that power, you must be lying about yours..." statements trying to put in question my credibility.....
Like I said, do a lot of research before you open your mouth as to not look like a dumb noob...

Its the way you went about it man, its all about the approach.... You could have Pmed me asking for details and specifics and I would have been glad to break it down and pass along all the knowledge and tools that I have aquired to ensure my car runs the way is supposed to. Too many people out there running around with bad set ups....

Well what went on in that thread was going to be the same thing in PM's. I don't believe stuff unless I know it's possible or alot of people say it is ( Not just 1 Person). I mean, I am a pretty nice guy, and I Never knew that you can make that much HP out of intake and exhaust, and If I did, I would of never said anything and kept my mouth shut. I didn't tune or dyno the one I have now, but it is the fastest Z06 I've owned, and the other one's I owned all made around 370rwhp. Who know's, the Z06 I have now might pull 400RWHP to after I tune it with this guy I just found out about.
If the tunner you take your car is any good, he will take his time with your car in the dyno.... a perfect tune takes time/hours....
There are many ways to disguise a tune as a good tune....
Id suggest not being cheap and forking out the extra cash for a very well known and respected tunner.....

Hate to tell you, but just because everyone says "it isnt so" it doesnt mean that its not possible. Taking that kind of attitude is not a "can do" man attitude. There are always pioneers that make thigs that were impossible before possible today...

Just a few quick observations.
Dyno racing sucks.
There are some damn quick bolt on LS6s.
Improbable does not equal impossible.
