I think it would be consistent. 17% of 580 is 26 more than 17% of 426.

You are incorrect in that the LSA engines are not broken in at the factory before they are placed in the automobile. That is why we have a section in the owner's manual that talks specifically to the break-in period. You will note that we didn't do this for the Gen III naturally aspirated engines. I'm strongly suggesting that owners of the ZL1 follow our suggested break-in period.

If you want to see alot of drivetrain loss, dyno a awd car . Then this doesnt look so bad. Overall some solid numbers here which would lay the smackdown on most stock cars.

You guys need to lighten up on dyno numbers. They are accurate for tuning and comparing numbers on the same day. There are so many factors that go into the results hich is why it is silly to think every car should have exaclt 15% or 17% loss to the wheels. The only real accurate way that I know of to measure power is the engine dyno, which is why all engine manufacturers have one. Add the fact that Erik pointed out in the first post the heat in the shop was higher than normal amd the car was experience high heat soak issues just adds to all the factors that affect the numbers.
Erik, will this beast be at this weekends autocross?

I was always on the fence about "break in" also. When i picked up my SS i decided to do the break in period. A couple guys i know did not and really got into them right away.
Nothing scientific here and certainly NOT gospel but, here are some results i will share. Last trip out to the drag strip all 3 of us made 5+ passes. ME A6 100% stock other than a CAI. Other A6 (Tuned - catback - CAI - catch can ) M6. (Tuned - catback - CAI - catch can) My only losses of the day was by .1 Now i realize you can call the M6 a wash due to many factors. But, the other A6 "should" have beaten me handily but it didn't. I matched both these cars within one tenth. Possibly due to recommended break in period i performed?? Maybe it is. |
