Ran a C5 Z06

[LS2 KLR]

Yesterday while driving around trying to put some miles on the new motor, I see a yellow z06 entering the highway. It had a set of custom chrome rims and a couple other cosmetic goodies. Very clean looking. I knew I shouldn't be abusing my car but couldn't resist.

It crept up beside me inviting a run. As I looked over I was surprised to see two older women giggling, about to pick on another punk in a mustang. I downshifted and jumped a time or two letting them know I was interested. She suddenly took off but I quickly made up ground and let out after a couple of cars. We played for a few miles until they exited, smiling and waving. My kind of women, minus the older part.

On my first pull on the dyno today it made 466/483 at 7lbs.

[Chris Arnold]

Congrats! Well, if that's 7 psi, that is a stout 5.0L engine. You're looking at well over 600 rwhp at 15 psi, which if the compression isn't too high, should be acheivable on pump gas. I'll bet it's a blast to drive.

I've been waiting on my turbo 331 far too long... I can't wait to get home to try it out.

Let's see, 466 rwhp should be a good race for a C6 Z06 or a Pully, chip, exhuast terminator. So, I'd like to see you race one of those next.

turbos? you cheater!!!

[LS2 KLR]

Well that sux. I thought if I replaced my nitrous setup with turbos I would no longer be a cheater:sillyme:

[Chris Arnold]

Well, if they're gonna call you a cheater anyway, then how bout putting the nitrous back on?

[hoss 2000 z-28]

N20 is an insurance policy and there is nothing better than full time power under the pedal. Excellent numbers, KLR! Surely that motor can take more than 7lbs. but I'm sure it's a handfull as it is.

Run whatcha brung!

[hutch1999]

Good kill, this thread is packed with some hardcore stang guys lol

[red99ws6]

i think it is funny that you think a termy with a pully can run with a c6 zo6

it can.... with a kb.

[TrickStang37]

that was a joke btw, hopefully nobody really thinks a pullied eaton cobra can pull a c6 z06.

I was only able to run 7lbs because the boost controller wasn't working. After minor tuning it ended up making 477/495. My low boost will be at 10lbs and high set at 16-18. As long as it makes 650rwhp I'll be happy.

And how did cobras enter the conversation?

[t-rock]

hey ls2 klr there is a guy who has a 89 fox body with a turbo set up and runs 7.2 on street tires in the 1/8 and he drives it to work every day. Oh and 6.9 on drag radials. i like the flames on your car lookks tough!

[red99ws6]

chris arnold was comparing the c6 to the termi like they are in the same league

[stevenm357]

He MUST have mistyped. 466 HP and the C6 is muuuuch lighter than the mustang about the same H to the wheels though...

Back to point.. Nice Kill even if you are in a mustang :) J/K

[Chris Arnold]

Well, shit my bad. I was just kinda guessing that a 500 rwhp termi (I was thinking ported blower too) would run with a 500 crank hp Corvette even though the termi is significantly heavier the rwhp of the Z06 is what like 430 rwhp? Am I really that far off?

I DONT THINK SO IVE RAN A PULLEYED,CHIPPED,EXHAUST,CAI COBRA AND A C6ZO6 AND I THINK IT WOULD BE CLOSE

well, ported (500 rwhp) it will be close. But that Z06 better be bone stock. Stock z06 is about 445 rwhp. The HP difference is BARELY enough to make up for the weight difference. But then aerodynamics will play a big role. With the fbody, at 120 mph the Cobra needs about 15rwhp more to run the same. against a vette, its probably 20rwhp+ and the gap keeps getting bigger.

[stevenm357]

If mods keep being added you will get there. I love both cars. but it's comparing apples to oranges. If they Z06 is bone stock, it would be real close. Not to mention both are a manual trans so it will be a drivers race too. I also know that the LS7 is pretty easy to get to the 600 HP mark. Ported blower will make a difference, 50 WHP vs what 120-200 pound weight difference?

ALL CAPS SIGNIFIES YELLING and is harder to get your point across because all of the text runs together.

Well, my mistake. I was thinking a 500 rwhp Cobra and I know a thing or two about mustangs. However, let's not put words into my mouth. Although I would, I actually never directly compared the Z06 with the termi. So, who compared apples too oranges?

Chris

Ps. I'm pretty sure LS2KLR isn't going to have a problem with either one when he turns up the wick.

i saw an ls7 engine dyno put 540 out at the crank stock, im not sure what the z06 puts to the ground, but it's enough. Plus like everyone says, with the aerodynamic differences and weight differences... Anyways, we have an 07 Z06, it's fast. I'm sure the mustang is very fast too, I'm a chevy guy though, hence I'm on LS1 forums!

it wasnt stock then.

I hope so. We turned up the boost to 12lbs the other day and it laid down 575rwhp. Next week we'll max it out on pump gas!

[ls1ya]

i think the only time we should dedicate this much time to a stang is to tell how you dogged it or how the front of it looks through the rearview, buuut nice setup.

The LS7 hp rating was done under SAE J-1349 testing conditions, which makes for a pretty low rating compared to what they could have done. Dyno testing proved the z06 is really putting down 546hp at 6100 rpms dynoed on a thompson 910. This was with no exhaust. Realistically with the restrictions it is estimated to be 522hp.

Stock.

I've never heard of a "thompson 910."

And SAE is the standard and it makes 505hp. All cars (that have been certified) are affected the same way, it's said that the LS2 would have had 405hp by the new standard. Most other car manufacturers got affected negatively, but thats what the standard is.

but then again, I guess i can invent my own standard and it will be right too.

[001CamaroSS]

It's regardless, it still went bone stock on a dyno and put 546 to the crank
