Grand Sport Dyno Results... or "I'll show you mine if you show me yours!"

Please email your Grand Sport C4 & C6 (LT4 & LS3) dyno submissions to info@grandsportregistry.com. Be sure to include a short description of the car including it's major modifications, make of dyno machine, dyno facility name, date of dyno test, plus a digital scan or image of your dyno graph, if one is available.

Of course we trust you... but no bragging rights without the dyno graph!

Keep in mind the numbers shown here reflect REAR WHEEL horsepower and torque, as reported by various dyno facilities. While factors such as environmental conditions, dyno manufacturer, and technician expertise (or lack thereof) can vary results considerably, a general rule of thumb is to divide these numbers by 0.85 to approximate horsepower and torque at the flywheel, also known as Gross HP. This allows for a commonly accepted 15% parasitic loss from the drivetrain. For example, a car which dynos at 300 HP at the rear wheels (RWHP) is probably making close to 353 HP at the flywheel. Big difference!

For comparison purposes, the 1996 Grand Sport Corvette with LT4 engine was factory rated at 330 HP gross (at the flywheel), although in reality most 1996 LT4's in good condition generate closer to 350 HP. It has long been believed that GM intentionally *underrated* the 1996 LT4 so as not to take the spotlight away from the new 1997 C5 LS1 engine, rated at 345 HP. The 2010-2013 C6 Grand Sports with LS3 engine were rated at 430 HP (436 HP with the optional NPP exhaust system). Again, deduct 15% from these figures for the approximate rear wheel horsepower.
