    Best video yet. Still would have liked to see at least one pull on the dyno and even a couple street passes on power so we could hear what the car sounded like under load.

  • @johnm98
    @johnm98 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Curious, most people report a baseline dyno of 585 to 595 rwhp. I know it's the ~180 hp difference that counts here, but what's up with your baseline of 502 hp?

    • @KatechPerformance
      @KatechPerformance  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Remember that next time you see somebody claiming 750+rwhp from an automatic with similar modifications. It just goes to show how conservative our dyno is. Typically we're seeing around 540rwhp baseline with manuals and low 500s with automatics. This one was probably worse than most because there is only 600 miles on the odometer. Think about it when people claim 585-595rwhp. The engine is certified at 650hp SAE on the engine dyno. Do we really believe there is only 55hp drivetrain loss?

    • @mclarenjohnf1

      Can you shed some light on why Mikes car had no significant gains after all the stuff was fitted to his AUTO, curious and I am not putting any bad your way I saw all the parts andy fitted and the work was very impressive.

    • @KatechPerformance
      @KatechPerformance  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s hard to say without looking at the calibration. Also I’m not sure if the car was baselined. Maybe the expectations were just too high for an automatic.

    I have a C7 z06 m7 z07. So far AFE intake, Corsa Npp exhaust, tune and DSC controller. I can't find much for your stage 4 car at idle, but it doesn't sound crazy? Some of these custom camshafts have too much "chop chop" for me but this sounds more stock-ish?
    How much more power would you make with E85? My mechanic trying to talk me into flex fuel, saying we can get another hundred horsepower. Partly due because we're stuck with crappy 91 octane in California.
    Lastly, do the prices on your website include installation? Thank you!

    So the car rolled in with the stock exhaust rolled out with long tube headers and loud cat back . You pull the whole car apart change pulleys for boost change cam and if I had to guess 20 K plus ? Now you lost your warranty . What would the power be with headers exhaust pulley change air intake dyno tune 100hp ? And if you just have to kill it add a button. Perk, pull it off and send it back to the dealer.

    • @oneslackr
      @oneslackr 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Your plan wouldn't work either. Because as soon as you tune it your warranty is gone. Even if you flash it back to a stock tune GM can still tell the ECU has been modified. You can read more about it below.

    502WHp on a stock C7 Z06 A8?! Are you serious? Drivetrain loss for a A8 i between 16-18% at maximum. Show me the dynosheet before and after. And just with only ported heads, blower, snout, 103mm throttle body, cam, headers, CAI it get over 680WHp. An improvement over 180WHp. Show me dynosheets before and after, if Katech don't post dynosheet here in comments i considering this just a classic marketing strategi used by Katech. If Katech can't show me reliable dynosheet that it only hade 502Whp stock and relaiblie dynosheet with over 680WHp after these mods its time for a new lawsuit against GM, if not this is only a classic market strategy from Katech to sell their products. But if 502 Whp is correct the only conclusion is that GM is a crappy company that lies about power numbers over and over again and get away with it and we byers are all idiots that is swallow that crap over and over again. Need i say that i own a 2017 M7 C7 Z06, i love its looks but its performance not so good.
