I'm sorry, folks....I forgot to answer this:

Unfortunately, I don't know the exact size of the Flowmaster resonator inlet but I'd guess it's 3 in.

If this is correct, may I ask what facility did the dynamometer tests and are the numbers SAE-corrected, standard-corrected or raw data?
I was thinking the same thing as typically you need headers and exhaust along with what he has to get close to 400rwhp. Maybe the heads are done as well?

jonszr1 is posting to a number of other threads today and I had not read them all when I posted above. In reading a few of them a few minutes ago, as I understand it, the car has headers and not cats. That makes a *huge* difference. Now that I know that, I can see 409 at the wheels.

I'll add that headers and no cats hardly makes the engine "stock"

The AutoMasters Street Skinner in my #140 makes 412 at the wheels from a 475-500hp engine which uses stock manifolds and cats. Where I to switch to headers, with appropriate recal., I'd easily make 425 and 430 at the wheels might be possible.

Also, there's a lot of discussion in recent years of replacing any resonator in the system with an "X-pipe". I've thought about doing that too.

I've thought about revising the article on the CAC about my exhaust system by adding a set of Dawson Racing Headers, cats off a new Z06 and an Z-pipe then going back to WesTech's dyno for more tests.

hib ' I didn't mean totally stk . as an old ahra drag racer headers was stk sorry. my car has ported inj housings jeal headers dyno tech hi-flowcats ccomplete flowmasters 21/2 in exhaust. and a custom prom . the best thing is no knock event at 5200. Corey henderson did the porting and the tune as well as installed 410 gears. his ph 210-867-6286. he would have the answers on nthe sae figure. i remember reading your modsto the flow master and really wanted to hit 420 rwhp a personal goal. i really just wanted to share what a fine job that young man did. i have been in hotrodding 35yrs and as we all know it can be hard to find a relly good shop that does what they say and giving a good monitary a plus. I wasn't bragging and sorry if any one felt that way, notmy intention at all. Corey is just getting ready to open up a real business instead of his back yard and thought to share my experience to give the zr1 guys another choice if they so desired. I wanted to pick your brain about that xpipe in a muf to see what your thoughts were. this old guy would like to be a little on the sleeper side .loud is for young folk Imho. if you have suggestion on how to improve my ex tract i would be very thankfull. Maybe i can get corey to post the dyno sheets . alli have is a lapp top. sorry

I hopefully will be testing my new exhaust system right after the first of the year . will try to do a same daytest to give a good comparison.
