I wouldn't doubt it! And there is still time to tweak before the mags get a hold of it. The Z/28 has some damn guts that's for sure. A little tune for added HP is certainly going to be available. And, all that comes with the 100,000 mile warranty! Amazing!

I would think the added downforce on the Z/28 is a penalizing factor on top end speed but a positive factor everywhere else with ferocious grip and handling stability that gives it the edge as compared to the ZL1.

Agreed Quote:
The Z/28 is SAE certified at 505 hp & 481 ft-lbs. You can't under-rate an engine by 10% and maintain SAE certification on it. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) probably wouldn't take too kindly to that. Additionally, the Z/28 hits its power and torque peak at different RPMs than the Z06 does. That doesn't happen if you're just giving placeholder numbers. As for the 161 mph ... let me put it this way: would you be willing to take a prototype car past 161 mph on one of the worlds deadliest tracks, in the rain?

...without delving much into the thread, answering the OP's Q I would safely say the tri-y headers, CAI, and exhaust system comprise the gain.

Is it at least 505 hp or is officially 505 hp?

Officially 505 SAE certified hp, as per the press release GM issued at the same time as they gave out the Nurburgring video.

Local guy bought a gt500, ran it on 2 different dyno's bone stock. Big numbers. 600 on the dyno jet, can't remember the other one. Got tired of the terrible tranny, sold it and got brand new ZR1. Took to same 2 dyno's. The power difference was way over 28hp. I think it was 40. Head scratcher, but my guess is that 600whp doesn't equal 660 SAE...

take it to a dragstrip and make a few passes and get the mph
enter it into to a calculator (google search plenty are out there) and come up with an idea of how much hp you are making Cheapest dyno by a long shot. And if you can get a DA reading you can get an even better idea of hp |
