So, here's the long awaited (at least by me! ) dyno plot for my SC... bear in mind that I reverted back to the smaller blower



There is no difference in configuration for run1 and run2... only thing that changed was HEAT SOAK... unfortunately if my car is impounded after a race it will be dyno'd cold... but in reality I will be running at the lower whp levels during a hot lap... so looks like I'm going to have to tune for 370 whp and ballast weight for 390whp to hit my weight/whp target.
Thing that's ironic to me is that your dyno pull is almost exact replica of mine with a Street legal Stillen kit and tune. Our cars must feel fairly similar on power.

Are you loving that boost on longer straights? My only gripe with 370z was lack of power on straights. With 400 WHP almost puts us in running with newer Porsche gt3s. I hacent tracked the car yet but in ax on faster straights I love that extra pull!

How are temps for you? I really think mild boost is way to go for VQ 37 crowd who keep the heads crazy robo cams. That way you keep revs at stock levels.

I'm thinking supercharged Z with higher boost pulley with boost relief valve might be real nice car for NASA TT. Have you looked at 928 motorsports boost relief valves? Wonder if they are reliable? I'm really thinking that is way to go as you can grab maximum low end boost and control upper end boost.

ZCG made a bunch of mods to my car this past week. zCG added vacuum booster and fixed my ice mode issues, Rob fabbed a fuel starve fix too with pump on saddle side and a little fuel can on other side. Switch the pump on during competition to keep fuel on pickup side. Added Nissan motorsports radiator, pulled AC, installed lightweight flywheel, upgraded clutch and throwout bearing. Interior stripped from seats back.
