2017 ZL1 Bone Stock Dyno Runs Anyone?

Has anyone else run their new 6th Gen ZL1 on a dyno? I'd like to see what others are getting and whether there's a difference at the rear wheels between the A10 and M6.

Here's mine:

Car: 2017 Camaro ZL1 M6
Mods: none (factory everything)
Odometer: 2432

Max Power: 582.01 RWHP
Max Torque: 574.38 Ft Lbs
National Speed Inc Facebook Video

Ambient Air Temp: 92.83 F
Barometric Pressure: 29.83 in-Hg
Humidity: 10%

See dyno graph at the bottom of this post.

Drove down to Wilmington NC to get a baseline dyno run at National Speed Inc. They are the closest speed shop that uses a DynoJet dynamometer. I'd also heard that they are very thorough and have one of the best tuners in Eastern NC.

They use the newer DynoJet 424 dynamometer with the latest WinPep software. They adjust for ambient air temp, barometric pressure, humidity and other factors to ensure an accurate reading.

The first run had some wheel spin, even after spraying a high-traction compound on the tires. This beast has so much torque on the low end and is very light in the rear that it's tough to get grip even on the huge 24 in. metal drums. Simple solution was to have one of the beefier employees to sit in the open trunk.

Their tuners, mechanics, project planners, and staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly. They took me on a tour of their facility and I was impressed. It's definitely a state-of-the-art facility. They're currently working on everything from TT Nissans to a Corvette ZR1. One of their project planners was happy to answer all my questions about their dyno and give me a lot of background info on how they use it to tune power upgrades.
