Re: MY ORIGINAL ZL-1 MOTOR DYNO'D !!!!! 540 HP!!
 

Max,

I'll post your dyno sheet when I have a minute to take some photos of them and upload to this site. Think it peaked out about 6200 rpm. I have to remember it's not a 302 so we didn't take it to 8100 rpm.

Whoa!!!!!! Does this mean I shouldn't be spinning my 427 BB that high?

Just kidding! Glad to see you here Jerry. I'm sure most will appreciate your input.

Was that 540 horse with dyno headers or the original exhaust manifolds?

that was with the dyno headers with exhaust...(correct me if I am wrong Jerry) I assume the exhaust is probably the most limiting factor on the stock ZL-1 motors.

Armstrong is probably the best and smartest BB engine builder in the country. Well, actually he lives in Canada.

apparently the headers were the limiting factor!!! 70 HP difference....I did not bother dynoing my motor with the factory exhaust, although it will have to be installed that way.....or????

It is also funny you said "Alloy Rat" because it was just in a all day photo shoot at our shop yesterday fitted with the latest aluminum panels from AMD. I will post some pics of the car however it is just in primer.
