ok sorry for asking this yet again after it been asked like 10000000 time but i gotta little discussion going over here. I need to know what is the absolute lowest an ls1 has ever dynoed, what do vets ussually dyno, m6 and a4, and what do f bods dyno, m6 and a4.

this dude keeps telling me that the standard power loss for our cars is 30% and that ls1 consistently put down like 270 stock

nah, the lowest ive seen is in the mid 290's for an ls1 f body....dunno about vettes. i believe the vettes have more driveline loss than we do.

What planet is he on... LS1's dyno stock aroung 325 to 345 depending on year and if an SS or not.

wasn't totally stock,but mine dynoed 288rwhp with shorty headers and an ls6 intake and an airlid.driveline loss is around 18-20% for A4s and 12-15% for M6s.

ALL dynos are different....DynoDynamics will read the lowest....and a Dynojet or Dynapack will read the highest. That will encompass a 30whp or more spread usually.

I remember a 97 vette auto that put out 280 stock, lowest i can recall.

Might want to make sure you are on the same planet as the rest of us.
From what I have see most Vettes pull around 290-295 (A4) 295-310 (MN6)
Had one guy pull 317 on a stock MN6 ( with the air filter removed )

Correct me if I am wrong and I may be but those don't look like RWHP and RWTQ numbers. They look like flywheel HP numbers.

Calculate a 15% driveline loss and you should come up with some more realistic dyno numbers

350 flywheel = 297.5 rear wheel hp, which is the measurement most chassis dynos go by as it is the power the car is actually making at the wheels.

Not quite that high. 345 is a little above what I would expect, even for an 01+ M6. The low range for a stock dyno (dynojet numbers) is around 280. My 98 A4 went 319/337 with longtubes, lid, and duals....and those aren't bad numbers either.

Nocturnal SS

You guys are forgetting one importent factor. Is it SAE RWHP or STD RWHP.? There is a differance.

no...those are certainly not rw numbers
