Let me know what y’all think! Did the results SURPRISE YOU? Wait for parts 2 and 3 of this series coming in a few days! The final results will blow your mind!
Me too!!! My friend and I have talked about this EXTENSIVELY…… cam swap and E85 tune! OMFG would make over 700 RWHP for sure…. I hope someone cracks this ECU ASAP.
Those are some impressive gains with an exhaust! The mid range is where this intake shines with gains up +42whp & +44lb ft. TQ. Peak power gains up to 17whp + 22lb ft. tq. Your +14whp and +9wtq is a great result considering you have an exhaust installed as well! Can't wait to see more testing from you in the future. - Justin
@@seanstanley2618 Paragon can probably explain it better but it’s more a matter of diminishing returns. Exhaust alone picked up exactly the HP advertised and now the engine is more efficient and makes more power. Add a cold air intake and you’ll Latino make more power but it won’t be as much of a change from a car with an exhaust vs a car that is still stock. The more efficient the engine becomes with mods….. the less each subsequent mod will pick up. It doesn’t just “stack” the advertised horsepower numbers for a gross total gained. This car already had a Paragon exhaust on it and picked up good horsepower. That video is on our channel Thanks for your question and I hope that helps some. Maybe the good folks at paragon can make it sound smarter LOL
We have MUCH more coming too! Share this one and send it out Next we compare the JLT and the Eventuri BACK TO BACK! Same Dyno, Same day, Same car…… apples to apples We also did Soler throttle bodies and cat delete numbers. Previously did the Paragon exhaust and put up the dyno results
I’m sorry. I used to think changing the air filter made a difference. Once I put my Eventuri on my C8 Stingray it came fully alive!!! I couldn’t imagine how much better it’s on the Z06’
Absolutely our pleasure! And we have the JLT shootout video coming this week as well where we run the two intakes back to back. Same day, same dyno, same everything. We didn’t even take the car off the dyno to change the cold air intakes. 😎 true apples to apples comparison
You were spot on man! I wanted to say it on livestream so bad but I had to keep it close to the vest! And I saw your video which made me double check I had a scale to weigh under 10 lbs! And 6.3 lbs is INSANE light!
The butt Dyno is always the best dyno! Do keep in mind like the stingray, that multiple bolts on parts may not "stack" power. A Lot of clients get confused when building their C8 stingray thinking an exhaust, headers & intake will all individually add 15-25 HP each but in fact they don't. All testing we've completed throughout the last year of R&D / Dyno runs between four separate Z06’s were all bone stock so we could verify gains on multiple cars before having the final production unit ready. We’re excited to see just how far these cars can be taken with simple bolts on parts & the intake is definitely a great way to add in the midrange where this car really needs help!
It’s SOOOOO good now in the midrange and it picked up HUGE there! It made more power for sure but it is MUCH stronger when you pull hard on it now through the midrange until the revs take over….. MASSIVE DIFFERENCE. Thanks for everything Korey….. could NOT be happier with everything I’ve purchased from Paragon! World Class!
Can you overlay your new dyno run over the one from the exhaust so we can see the difference in the midrange HP & TQ now. Thanks for your videos. They should help people make decisions on products available. 👍👍👍
Videos completed and the shoot out video comes out tomorrow! Real Dyno numbers both intakes, same dyno, same day, same everything! JLT install and review itself will be first thing next week! Thanks for subbing and you will love the content we have coming!
Thanks for trying to keep it real..hard to do when paragon trying to still fluff up ur numbers..I see the dyno graph..yes it made more in middle but being generous when saying it was in 30,s..lucky if it hit 31..still decent but keep being the little guys voice..if jlt is even close to those numbers , its a no brainer for 700.00..please clarify these are oiled filters and not cheap paper hi flow crap filters..thanks again
@@mikepage0007 I believe JLT is offering the oiled filters… that’s the filter that came with the pre-production model we got to test. Thanks for the encouragement. We have video dropping tomorrow that is a head to head shootout with Eventuri and JLT…. Same day, same Dyno…. We didn’t even take the car off the Dyno to change air intakes and I have the burns on my hand from the cats to prove it LOL! Subscribe and stay tuned. The results will surprise a LOT of people!
It’s already done! We did them both…. Same day… same dyno…. Same EVERYTHING! We didn’t even take the car off the dyno to change intakes! Thanks and subscribe to see the JLT results and the shootout!
only thing i,m not understanding is how you getting 615rwhp.. have yet to see any stock c8 z06 baseline hit over 603.. 90% are around 565 to 580 and i have seen dozens..
My car pulled 601-603 baseline. I mentioned in the video this baseline for this install was with my Paragon exhaust installed previously. My exhaust install and dyno video is on the channel as well. It’s very detailed on exhaust install steps. So my baseline was consistent with what you saw and in line with what most folks are seeing in their Z06’s. Also have a bone stock dyno pull video showing multiple pulls 601-603 you should check out. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wow Paragone advertised it adds additional 44hp with Eventuri, your 14hp is alot less then Paragone , so is Paragone falsely advertising, I thank you for your honesty
Those were out peak to peak numbers. It made EVERY BIT of the +42/+44 in the midrange. You can see in the dyno graph overlay on the midrange the difference. Not only that but you can FEEL those gains in the midrange. This intake is incredible in the midrange on this car where it really needs those numbers. There is no doubt when you jump on it that it now has a LOT more HP and Torque under the entire graph Thanks for commenting friend
Yes we did on all pulls. Have a few more videos with SHOOT OUT and other mods install for this same dyno day and we cover that in the Throttle Body video. Thanks for commenting!
@dbmracing2019 that's great, there's so much concern swirling around adding more air, fuel supply etc that an intake, TB, exhaust dyno with AFR measured would be really interesting
@@Turbotuner20v we didn’t want to debate folks and just wanted to see for ourselves and so we added the mods and dyno and get as much actual data as we can….. one of the cool things I wish we had posted was the throttle signal ramp as set by GM and then how drastically it changed with the Soler Throttle Controller. Of course you can feel this difference but on the laptop on dyno you can actually SEE the massive change in the curve for the throttle signal. But thanks for checking us out and we will make sure to keep posting as much info as we can glean from all our testing!

That’s a HEAVENLY sound! Could listen to that all day!
Best sound EVER!
I wonder how big of a difference would upgraded cams do on this majestic 5.5L. Absolutely love this engine.

Won’t have to wait long…… lots coming and more this week!

What do you mean by adding exhaust ?
Wouldn't the exhaust make the intake give it more Hp ? Since it's a better set up exhaust just curious

DBM explained it perfectly. Mods wont stack power. @@seanstanley2618
It's about time someone posted horsepower numbers. Thank you.

That clears up a whole lot. Great job.
We have dyno shootout video against another name brand dropping Friday! With numbers for BOTH!
Thanks for stopping by!
@@dbmracing2019 This is getting straight to the point.

I knew this intake was under 10 pounds because my scale wouldn't even read anything! Great job on the dyno stuff, can't wait to see the rest!

It was a LONG day but it was VERY fun! Thanks for supporting the channel
Congrats David… I passed this along to multiple friends. I think they will subscribe. They have Z06 too
Thank you sir! And if they have a Z06 as well they also have impeccable taste! 😊
Great video ! Glad to be a part of it. Install wasn’t bad either!

Did you read where the 42HP & 44TQ is within the midrange & not peak power?
Per our website:
All of this technology results in gains up to +42whp & +44lb ft. TQ in the mid range!
Peak power gains up to 17whp + 22lb ft. tq.

thats like my penis has gains up to 12 inches..i guess if we tie a 10lb weight on it..
This guy knows nothing about nothing
Did you make any pulls with air/fuel being measured?
Yes we did on all pulls. Have a few more videos with SHOOT OUT and other mods install for this same dyno day and we cover that in the Throttle Body video.
