Dyno'd my bone stock LS3

[Big Turkey]

It was freakin' hot in the shop. 108.4 degrees on the dyno. The car was just driven to go eat lunch and then slapped on the dyno, coolant temps were around 199. We logged the car to see how conservative the stock tune was, IATs were around 140 (almost like a blower car!), and the car pulled 8deg of timing @ 5800RPM, right it's supposed to make peak power. We didn't have a dyno fan so we just used a tiny little thing. I was expecting 350-360 considering the heat but this surprised me.

Our torque box is broken from the heat, so all I got was a horsepower reading and it was:

380hp. LOL.

I wish I had a graph to show, power was climbing REAL hard then BANG it pulled all that timing and toggled between 360-365hp. If I would have gotten a clean pull I think that thing would have made 390, close to 400whp on a nice 55-60 deg day.

I'm gonna hit the track, then it's time for mods

Kooks/Cam/TEA LS3 Heads and a 150 shot would really wake it up

Thanks man, Yeah I had a white 03-04 Cobra, I still have the car but the buyer is coming down to pick it up in a couple of weeks.

I made a few of those Houston Videos but I need to take this thing to the track to get a few baselines. I'm hoping for 11s bone stock but it's gonna be hard in this type of weather. I really have to get used to this drive-by-wire throttle and hydraulic clutch. Way different from the cable systems from the Cobra.

I wanna try to take it slow with this car. You guys know how it goes!

I plan on it I see you're an ex-Cobra owner too.

Cobra's definitely make the power, don't get me wrong. But just something with the vette overall I enjoy driving it much more.

Yep, they are a bit more "exotic" in an American kind of way

The seat belt retractors work too
