C7 Z06 picks up 211rwtq@3200rpm with just a re-tune
This C7 Z06 M7 came into our shop with an upper pulley, headers and meth. The customer's concern was poor drivability and no low end torque. After some time on the chassis dyno, Howard was able to correct the customer's concerns and make some impressive gains, restoring the power level to what would be expected for these modifications while not pushing it beyond a safe level.
+211rwtq @3200rpm
+62rwtq at torque peak, moved peak down to 3700rpm and flattened the curve
+46rwhp at horsepower peak and flattened/smoothed the curve
That's insane. How bad was the first tune? Or did it just not have one?
It was brought to us by customer as he was not satisfied with the performance of the car.. rightfully so. We baselined in.. as indicated. Then reflashed car to stock and updated the operating system.
I wish tuners would know their limitations and subcontract out to someone that can educate them to help them and the customers at the same time.
That is a huge difference on low end take off torque. Nicely done!
I have a number of friends with modified cars, so when I was looking to modify my 2008 C6 Vette, I asked where to take it near me (Lake Worth/West Palm Beach area). Only two companies were recommended and Redline was one of them. I went to and got quotes from both. Redline stood out to me because of the time both Rich and Howard spent with me not only on the modification I wanted to do, but they took the time to show me around the shop and some of the projects they were working on. I got the quote a few days later, but wound up buying a 2019 C7 ZO6 instead so did not have the work done. When it's time to do my ZO6, Redline is where I'll be spending my money.
