just doesnt seem logical at all to have that many breather mods and not tune it for proper use of the mods. the ECU on the Z is awesome to where i can adjust itself but only to a certain point. probably doing more harm than good honestly.
plus a tune would have brought some nice numbers with those mods regardless of their brand name.....well maybe lol
and yes we all know the infamous Z1 dyno numbers to sell their parts. sorta like the one guy now saying he has 500hp NA with a 100 shot of nitrous 
i do believe my dyno session was done on a dynojet as well. cant remember to be honest what dyno AAM uses off the top of my head. |
A CAI, CBE, and header is "that many mods?" To me it wasn't. I had more mods to do before a tune was needed. Besides I was still running rich so there was zero need for it. No danger at all.
It was logical to me. Again I had more mods to do and the car was running fine. Slightly rich, no knock, and I only dyno'd it that day to see the safety of the motor and we logged it. Turned out it was safe as hell so no need for further intervention. Even after my new CAI, ported TB's, ported upper and ported lower I ran it again before I got tuned and it was still running rich! Still zero knock! Still no issues. The car IS awesome and can adjust for everything so zero harm was done! At least on my 13. Maybe my ecu is smarter and faster than others. I know I don't have to reset the windows when the batteries unplugged.
Here's every single mod I have. Reds before the tune. New CAi that's 2.75" up from 2.5" except the MAF housing was stock size with Z1 post tunes, LTH, straight pipe CBE, ported TB's, ported upper and lower manifolds. Still running mid 11's with no knock.
And here's what my tune got me that day leaning it out with a little more timing.
