Well, we are off to a great start. Turns out we have a nice little ringer on our hands. The other 370's and G37's I have done all baselined around 250whp. Ours turned the rollers to 276whp. For those of you not familiar with our Dyno Dynamics Dyno, it tends to read fairly low, compared to the Dyno Jet or Dyno Pak machines.

Why did you guys stop short of redline on the dyno? Nice results though!

Alright, we have updates! Our first stage of this project was to remove the basic interior out of the car. This included carpet, seats, pillar covers, etc etc. We were quite pleased with the amount of weight we were able to remove from the car with very little effort. We were able to remove over 300 pounds of just interior pieces. Our current weight is 3009 which is down from 3323, a 314 pound difference!
We are about to start moving forward with our second stage of this project which will include more in depth weight reduction. This is where it starts getting a little bit harder to get significant weight off. We will be removing sound deadening, AC, door crash beams, etc. Keep in mind the car is still bone stock, so we havn't even installed new exhaust, suspension, and other aftermarket parts which will drop a nice bit of weight out of the car. Stay tuned to our progress! Here are a few more pictures Lots of sound deadening to remove Down to 3009 pounds (314 pounds less than stock) |

I wasn't on site to supervise the dyno. They ran it to redline, but the RPM signal was a bit off, so that's the max power we saw from 4 runs total.
