Z06 killed by Mustang

**Packy** · 10-23-2009, 05:50 AM

Although the power levels are close with the stalled TH-400 and his set-up sounds like he has everything working in his favor! Trust me I have a stalled th-400 in my TA and I have beat a few Vipers and other cars that you wouldn't think my TA should beat from a roll! My car made 566 rwhp and 540 tq through the 6 speed and with the TH-400 it made like 520/520 and is a half second faster in the 1/4 mile now. He is just geared/set-up properly and that is why you are losing out. Also what gear did you start in?

You also started off about a half car back it looked like from the video...

like my dad says no matter how much you think you have there is always somebody with a little more.

im confused a 08 c6 factory is 505 hp right ?
your is procharged making only 530's, not much from the boost till you get the pipes and headers on her i suppose.

Stock Z06 makes 505 BHP.....or at the flywheel. So with a 15% drivetrain loss that is normal a stock Z06 would put down 430 RWHP.

He is putting 530 RWHP down with his set-up. So about 100 ponies he is getting from the procharger on light boost.

i was not aware it was measured at the flywheel and advertised the same,
makes sence then.

Thanks Packy this is what people have been telling and even our tuner we have the same tuner. He has 850hp at the crank but i am curious what he has for gears i will text him and find out. I have been talking to rodney who i bought my car from and he may sell me his used d1sc and some other goodies. Rodney is making 15psi on a stock longblock ls7 YES 15psi this is on 100 unleaded and every bolt on. Rodney ran a personal best of 9.50 at 143mph.

Here is his right up on corvette forum.

I just had the Z06 out again yesterday to have some fun at the track with LPE and thier project ZR1. The air was cool and the track was hooking good, so on my one and only run of the night was my personal best ET. I had a 1.399 60ft and ran a 9.60 at 143. I have a stock un-touched LS7 with a D1SC making @ 15 psi on 100 unleaded and no meth. The tune was handled by Roadrebel and the car made 689 RWHP on EPP's Mustang dyno.

HOLY FUCK!!!

I wish I could do that good on the launch

I just cant believe how his ls7 is holding up to all that boost. Rondey is not worried if it goes tho he has a built WARHAWK motor in his shop waiting to go in. I actually think he wants it to go. But the warhawk motor was out of another c6 Z and it put down 954 rwhp but i am not sure if that was auto or manually. That was with a F1-r setup he wants to go with a f2 setup and make more power. I honestly would not doubt if he would have the fastest z in some type of class someday.

That sentence explains it all. If you could careless about stuff, then you got money

"Money doesn't buy you happiness but it buys things that make you happy" Me!

HAHAHA, that is DAMN good. Saw a 2.0liter DSM get a 1.1XX 60 ft at the track last year. I almost shit myself, he then went a high 8 in the 150+mph range.

**clint195** · 10-23-2009, 11:00 AM

I couldnt even imagine 954rwhp and wanting more. That would pull like a raped ape.e

I would be happy with 954whp for sure, but some are never happy. Know a few guys who drive 1500whp+ cars even on the street.
