It's worth noting that some shops are going to build whatever they need to hit the customer's requests, whether they're ethically/safely possible or not, or trying to get the highest numbers to show how their shop makes more power than another shop. Anyways, no shade, just saying. Your car is making excellent power, if it stays running like it is, you'll probably be one of the fastest bolt on ZL1s in existence. As you may have seen, there's people with cammed + full bolt on cars making less than yours. I've overseen quite a few LSA and LT4 builds, I don't just bring up stuff for discussion purposes only.

Oh, no. My response wasn't any regards to any slight to your response. I was actually agreeing to your sentiments. I honestly thought my numbers were low to be honest with ya, but since they were on a Mustang Dyno, I do consider them now to be an actual good number. My 1st dyno pull of the night was 707. My 2nd produced my final numbers you see on the chart. Keep in mind tho, it was 35 degrees in ideal air, so that helped and that last pull was on 18lbs of boost. I doubt I'll see that in the summer time so. I see most runs on the DynoJet and from what I've been told, bump up HP by at least 50 hp as it's not a loaded dyno run. I see very few, very few dyno charts from the Mustang Dyno. Everyone is using DynoJet numbers and from what I'm told, produce false numbers due to an unloaded run. My Z06 was 786 at the wheels, but on a DynoJet at LMR. I know for a fact, my Zl1 will run my Z06 into the ground. It's that much of a difference. At least in my butt dyno. If my HP numbers are in deed good for my mods, then Matt deserves the credit. I don't know his whole history as I've had Steve from LMR build my Z06, but if Aldo Welds tells me Matt is the best tuner in the US, then I'm to go with their words. After all, Aldo is currently building Matt's Vette so. I tend to have to trust these guys that they know what they are doing. Aldo started my build, Matt finished it. I can only trust them at the end of the day. I don't think Matt would just do what I tell him, even tho my Meth argument won over his E85 choice. But, everything else was his call. I just gave him a check and said, get me 750 HP. haha. For now at least. I'm going to enjoy it, then we are going to work towards the 1000 mark.
