LPE C7 dyno numbers [Archive] - Carolina Horsepower

I'm on the fence about the styling but I hear it looks good in person.

A friend has the second one in Charleston on order from Hendricks (so the salesman said), but GM hasn't started building it yet. Supposed to find out more tomorrow on its ETA. I don't think they have told him exactly what the "Market Adjustment Price" will be yet, but it will be at least 5k over sticker.

Nice! Get him out to C&C one Saturday so I can come take a look at it.

Lisa's father was looking at buying a new(ish) 911, but has been swayed towards the C7. He read one of the articles that compared it to some of the higher end sports cars and noticed it hung in there for a fraction of the cost. I think it is a great buy for the money.

Didnt I read somewhere about the low end torque of this new engine is supposed to be like LS7 torque or some shit? Sure looks like normal LS2/LS3 torks to me. Hell maybe I'm wrong.

LT1 dyno made 416tq.

pretty close, but lpe's graph has MPH x-axis, so I can't establish exact rpm, but it looks to be in the 4k range.

I'm not saying that I'm fast, or had a fast car or anything...but my Z06 made 375/371, ran a quarter in 12.0, and this C7 made 416/416 but they only claim it will do a 12.0 1/4? And from what I saw from some magazine/website tests were more like 12.3-12.4? What am I missing? Is it because I had super cool hash marks?

RoadconeTuning

09-25-2013, 08:32 AM

It weighs more than the outgoing vettes but the lateral grip that it has is absurd for how little tire is on it. I cant wait to start seeing them out and about. I want to shoot one to see if i can make it look as good in a picture as it does in person.

Top Gear USA had it on last night. It wasn't really a valid test of anything; Tanner just thrashed it on a road course and then in a 4 block cordoned off area in Detroit where he turned all driver aids OFF and ran a street course through Detroit. Then again, the same course with all driver aids ON. It has a newer updated launch control and active management handling system Chevrolet says is "un-beatable" ON vs. OFF.

You could FK some people up with that car from a stop light and that new updated launch control system.

I want to say MSRP on a Loaded Z51 Stingray without the Dealer Markup is supposed to be $55k.

In my opinion the new interior, aerodynamic and updated driver aid systems alone "easily" make the car worth that much in comparison to a C6 Z51.

I think a lot of that has to now do with the hype. When they originally started talking prices this past spring it was supposed to be $55k. That may no longer be the case.

It made 25 less hp than a stock LS7 and the same torque and its the base model what do you expect? Stock LS3 Vette's make around 385/380 and are the same CI as the new LT1. So 30 extra hp and 35 tq plus improved mpg and you aren't happy lol.

Lingenfelter has already installed a heads/cam package on a C7 and they should be doing the tune/dyno soon.

I think its referred to as a sandbox game you can stick with the story or go off and do you own thing. Its open world environment allows you to do about anything you want steal cars street race sky dive actually played a round of golf go to strip clubs and so on. Game is pretty ruff at times I haven't played too much because its definitely not suitable to play around kids. That being said it pretty damn fun and the ability to switch characters this time around keeps it very interesting hell I even played as a Rottweiler.

Very interesting! Looks like a lot of variable pump pressures are used instead of injector opening times. Makes sense since as soon as the fuel is injected it starts to combust. Thanks

Yep, you have a much narrower window for an injection event to happen since you can't just spray it on the back of the valve.

Seeing that a handful of folks were able to get stock C6Z06's save for Drag Radials into the 10's without breaking anything, I would hope the newer improved equipment had the same or better, structural integrity. Seeing that they now offer such an aggressive Launch Control System, you would think they put the right effort of engineering into the drivetrain.

We have always liked the Edelbrock unit for our C6 supercharged applications. And that is what we will be offering for the 2014 C7 Corvette Stingray. Initial fitment appears to clear under the stock hood. We are working on fitment to the motor and hope to have a prototype blower running on a car very soon. Stay tuned for more updates.

Straight from the owners manual:

Launch Control (Track
Mode Only)
A Launch Control feature is
available, within Competitive Driving
Mode (except Z51 with Magnetic
Selective Ride Control) or
Performance Traction Management
(Z51 with Magnetic Selective Ride
Control), on all vehicles to allow the
driver to achieve high levels of
vehicle acceleration in a straight
line. Launch Control is a form of
traction control that manages tire
spin while launching the vehicle.
This feature is intended for use
during closed course race events
where consistent zero to
60 and quarter mile times are
desirable.
Launch Control is only available
when the following criteria are met:
. Competitive Driving Mode is
selected (except Z51 with
Magnetic Selective Ride Control)
or any of the Performance
Traction Management modes
are selected (Z51 with Magnetic
Selective Ride Control). The
TCS light comes on the
instrument panel and the
appropriate DIC message
displays.
. The vehicle is not moving.
. The steering wheel is pointing
straight.
Manual Transmissions
. The clutch is pressed and the
vehicle is in 1 (First) gear.
. The accelerator pedal is rapidly
applied to wide open throttle.
The Launch Control feature will
initially limit engine speed as the
driver rapidly applies the accelerator
pedal to wide open throttle. Allow
the engine rpm to stabilize.
A smooth, quick release of the
clutch, while maintaining the fully
pressed accelerator pedal, will
manage wheel slip. Complete shifts
as described in Manual
Transmission on page 9-30.
Automatic Transmissions
. The brake pedal must be firmly
pressed to the floor, equivalent
to a panic brake event.
. The accelerator pedal is rapidly
applied to wide open throttle. (If
the vehicle rolls due to wide
open throttle, release the
throttle, press the brake pedal
more firmly, and re-apply the
accelerator to wide open
throttle.)
The Launch Control feature will
initially limit engine speed as the
driver rapidly applies the accelerator
pedal to wide open throttle. Allow
the engine rpm to stabilize.

Learned that the Auto has Launch Control as well.

Headers (if that's what that car has) are worth far less than you are giving them credit with a stock motor and NO tune. Normally any CAI is worth 10-15fwhp. At 1:07 you can clearly see the C6 has aftermarket tail pipes which leads me to believe it is a "CAI and Axle back only car".

I was thinking it has full exhaust and a tune to go with it.. My C5Z went from 330 or so rwhp to 375. About 40hp difference so I thought that an LS2/3 could probably pick up more, especially if it had longtubes (I had tri-y).

BIRDMAN

Just read your link:

Yep...it's just a shot in the dark, but most seem to pull 385-395rwhp with full intake/exhaust and dynotuning.

Stock your car is in the mid 340 rwhp range generally, so yes, with intake and full exhaust (plugs/wires and lower themostat wont add any power) you'll be picking up about 45-50rwhp after tuning.

I wasn't too far off it seems!

Again, assuming he has full exhaust and tune.

Texas speed just made over 600hp H/C on engine dyno

Just thought I'd drop you guys a quick message & let you know we broke 600 flywheel hp with stock exhaust manifolds still on the engine dyno LT1! That's up over 80hp from our baseline with a small camshaft & stock compression cnc ported heads! :)

I expect headers & just the right camshaft & we'll see over 630hp easily.

These parts aren't available for order yet, we still have a different head design to test & we are just getting started collecting camshaft data side by side on the dyno. I fully expect I can give you guys a camshaft alone that will make over 80 in the next week. :) :)

moar sexytime! lol
