C6 Z06 Dyno results, LG Headers + Redline Oil
Ok Guys,
Until we can get some tuning software Cold air induction or slide a new cam in this car we are at some sort of a limit.
And I mean "Some Limit". This is more than we ever thought possible. We have a total of 71 miles on the car now.
REDLINE OIL's President Tim Kerrigan is the owner of this car. So there was no question that we were going to change the fluids to REDLINE. We changed the engine oil to Redline 5w-30. We changed the trans fluid to Redline D4 ATF, and the rear end got 75/90 gear lube with redline friction additive.
I then put about 2 miles on the car and pulled it back on the dyno.
(the car went to the dyno all by itself without me touching the wheel)
We gave it a cool down period and did some pulls.
The results are that we have hit a new high of:
492.2 rwhp 472.3 rwtq
The results that this new Z06 that GM has put out are nothing short of fantastic. The scary part is that it will probably get better with some proper break in miles. We did over 10 miles of dyno roller time which is usually very good break in time.
The other realization is the fact that when everyone gets LS-7 edit tuning software the bar will again be raised. how much, without going into the engine? I don't know. Of course the usual mods like cam and porting the heads, ported throttle bodies, cold air intakes etc will reap many advances.
I am looking forward to the arrival of my own Z06 so i can be a little more unforgiving with the parts we deem R & D parts. My car will be the "Mule" where we will find out what works ( I will have the cam of the week) and then we can impliment them in our customer cars.
Further clarification and my thoughts:
the air filter was removed but it was removed from the last posted numbers also.
I have to say that I attribute some of the gains over the 2 days and 22 dyno runs to break in and PCM learning. But regardless, the final numbers are incredible.
We looked at the timing with the tech 2 and the timing dropped to 21 degrees during the runs we recorded. Edit tuning will solve some problems and send this car to a new level again.
I hope I can clarify these results. I also know that the baseline from cars with miles on them should be much better.
so stay tuned.There are great cars.

Awesome numbers Lou. I might have to go with the same RedLine treatment on my C6. Now, if I just could get a Z06. Still, I have no complants with the 412rwhp/395rwtq I got from your headers, tune, and mild cam!
Looks like heads and a fast intake are in order for my C6. Do you think the LS7 intake will possible fit the LS2 in order to negate the cutting of the firewall for the FAST product?

I will copy this post in to the first post to clarify these results.

........so when you getting yours??? You just have to be foaming at the mouth....BTW, if you didn't know, I'm sure you're gonna have to pay for the Headers & Exhaust that are being used on this car....so when you do your financing make sure you budget that into your car......so it'll be just as impressive as this car and you won't let "US" down....counting on you
!!!!Peace!!

AWESOME!!! Put some more miles on that baby and make sure it has some of the local 93 octane in it and I am sure you can nail a 500rwhp graph without additional work. Simply amazing.

I think LG proices them at about $1600 for the set? Please correct me if I am wrong. To some it sounds expensive, but I think they are well worth it considering the gains they provide!

that sounds expensive especially because my headers for the C3 only cost me $90 including shipping 
but if you have a Z06 it should not be that expensive for you and the gains are great

Hi Guys,
These are the same full 304 stainless Steel headers including 3" Merge collectors ( goto www.burnsstainless.com to read up) then they connect to full 3" Metal matrix cats and the system includes the X pipe. Plus our system extends all the way back to the stock mufflers for a bolt up connection. It also allows you to keep your full Z06 stock system intact so you can have it later if you want to.
So it is a full bolt on system from the engine to the stock 3" muffler connection. Oh, did I mention that they make horsepower?
Priced with cats at $1695 complete with hardware and 02 extensions.
IN Stock now.
thanks

1) Do you have CARB approval? If not, please get it for us poor California folk.
2) What's involved to install the package (hoist, cutting, mods, etc.)?

I am glad that's not my car.The restricted airbox you spoke about is deceptive too. It looks restricted based on the plastic shielding around it, but the filter element is the same as the Donaldson unit. The baffling around the air box is there for water injestion. If you can be certain you will never be forced to go through either deep water or shallow water fast, you may be able to get 3 - 5 HP by removing the shielding.
Good luck with the tune.
Frank
