It's sort of indicative of this debate that z28ricer has taken the hard numbers from my spreadsheet and misrepresented them to fit his own agenda. Beat your drum all day (with pushrods no less), but don't misrepresent tech that I post.

C6 Z06 dyno taken from LG Motorsports. 440whp, 410tq.

My old 3071R 2.0L SR 18psi, 93oct. 427whp, 332tq.
green line:


And here's a screenshot of a spreadsheet that I coded myself from scratch. Yellow boxes are data to be added/updated. Car 1 is the SR, Car 2 is the Z06. The spreadsheet whips out velocity and acceleration for every RPM in every gear.


And heres the part at the bottom that harvests the data from those tables. It even zeros out acceleration for that short period when you're shifting gears. "Car length" is Car 1 minus Car 2, so a positive number is Car 1 (the SR) ahead.


Aww, aww, aww, aww.

Sorry dude. Like I said on NRR, cars run on physics, not opinion and marketing. And just for the record, I said that it would be a close race with a stock Z06, but it gets ugly fast once you start adding headers.

I'm still working on that spreadsheet to calculate drag forces, both theoretical (Cd and area) and measured (decel from 80 to 70). Plus I'm going to add traction limiting and launch approximation.

What all of this has to do with static head flow, I have no idea.
