A buddy of mine just picked up a vette with quite a few mods. We took it to the tuner to make sure everything was sorted out. Word from the tuner is that its the strongest c5 z06 with a stock bottom end to ever cross his dyno.
The mustang dyno is saying 475 right now, a stock c6 z06 puts out 440 on the same dyno.
The car is still very streetable. Coming from working on Gen 1 SBC's, these numbers just shock me. I'm currently working on a 383 (6.2l) gen 1 SBC and I hope to get close to 500 fly HP. Thats with AFR heads and a little smaller cam than the vette. I cant get the RPM that the ls6 is getting though, its going up to 7000. I could probably run 6500 max but i dont plan on taking it much past 6000.
Specs of the ls6 off the top of my head:
cam: 239/24x
FAST intake/fuel rail 36# injectors
Ported and polished heads
ls7 lifters
aftermarket throttle body.
Long tube headers.
amazing how this adds up to around 550hp. Its almost 100hp per liter and still streetable.
