Just bought 96 Z28...Dyno numbers
All depends on how well the car was taken car of man. Typical is relative to that
Maybe I've always seen very low ones, but I've seen many many dyno and the autos are always around 225-240 and the manuals are always between 245 and 255. I just dynoed my stock 1994 Z28 A4 and it put down 230. 63K fully tuned up. My last LT1 (1997 TA A4) made 233 with 40K miles and everything tuned up. Thsoe two were right in line with all the other autos I've seen. I guess every dyno around here reads low. Also, were the numbers all corrected for SAE or the actual numbers? That can make a huge difference.
Like I said, I'm not doubting his number at all, but I don't think it's the norm. I guess some track numbers would tell the real story. 270 rwhp should easily trap 102 mph. From what I've seen the average LT1 traps 97-99 mph indicating 220-250 rwhp. There are some that trap 100 plus, but not most (unless your running them at Atco).
Either way, I guess it's not worth arguing about since we don't race dyno charts.
