Neat, looks like close to z06 ls6 territory, so at least the are consistantly rated from the factory.

Cartek seems to have the highest dynoing stock C6 that I've found - it made 20 rwhp more then MTI's C6 and 12 rwhp more then LG's.

I'm a little surprised by that. I thought the LS2's would put down closer to 370-380 at the wheels. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I don't have as much catch up work as I thought I was going to need, but still sort of surprised.

It seems about right. 400 Crank hp with a 50hp loss through the T-56 = ~350rwhp.

444miles huh, how many of those are 1/4mi sprints lol

As far as I know I haven't seen any cars pick up 20 rwhp in 400 miles of driving. However, on a positive note MTI did more dyno runs on their car yesterday and dynoed 353 rwhp. Jayson said that the LS2 engines seem to be retard timing when heated up so they picked up quite a bit when dynoing the car at lower temps.

Nice #'s. Those C6's are going to be sweet *** cars. Put some bigger cam and heads in it and that thing will really scream.

What is the weight of that car? I'm disappointed in the dyno numbers that I've been seeing. I was hoping that GM under rated it slightly.

Correct me if I be wrong but Isnt this where now MTI has a lower baseline and can now say MTI part XXX puts out 27hp compared to stock ? If you know what i'm saying.

Exactly, watch for a new intake that adds 27 to the wheels

I drove the car the other day , it's nice , with the new Kooks headers on it , it pulled pretty good . I think with headers , cam , gears and tuning these cars will run mid to low elevens at the track . The tuning is way too conservative from the factory , and the cam is too small . The car attracts a lot of looks , I felt like I was driving a spaceship . I also smoked a Mustang GT on the Garden State Parkway , he got right on my *** as soon as I pulled on to the parkway , I downshifted to third , by the time I shifted to fourth he was 4-5 car lengths back .
