Default ZR1 Baseline pulls, and photos!

Graham Rahal stopped by the shop on Friday to show us his new purchase, and get some baseline pulls before modding the car!

We all checked out the car, and it looks great! We also showed him the little exhaust bypass trick, and opened up the muffler system, overall I was impressed with the sounds and performance.

Here is some photos


Eric our tuner in this photo


He already got the wheels powder coated black for those that noticed! (albeit the car is a little dirty, it gets driven )

Here is the dyno chart! Bone stock!


Our dyno tends to read a little low, but its not far off. I was amazed how rich the air fuel ratio was, at wot it averaged around 10.6-10.8. We tried to tune the car, but HP tuners did not have file support just yet, they are going to get that done for us.

Then plans are
George from Kooks sent us some Kooks long tubes, and off road pipe
Lou sent in a B&B fusion exhaust for Graham as well!
IPS custom tune

Cheers

-Brandon

This thread has more potential to deliver than most I've seen in months here.

Glad I came back for a quick look.

Thanks for the post!

Cant wait to see the ongoing results.

Cheers.

Darth Vader would drive that.

Are there any pics with the hood closed?
