Also when your in there, theres a AC line right under your blower, it rubbed a 1/4" mark into the volute on my blower. Cut some 5/8" hose in half, wrap the ac line with it and zip tie it.
Thanks for the clarification! A/C lines were taken care of from previous stillen G3 installation. I appreciate the help form everyone!

Also, I meant blower.. Not turbo.. still new to the world of superchargers.

Update: I moved the boost gauge source to the nipple between the throttle bodies and got a reading of 7-8 psi at ~7k rpm!

Lets hope a custom tune gives me more power as I am having buyers remorse and regret not going BP turbo.

The custom tune should do the trick. It is not the same as TT but it is still plenty fast. My other car is a nitrous 437 sbc putting out more than 700hp and I don't feel like my Z is a turd after driving the nova. On the dyno you'll see what it it putting down and how linear the power can be.

Updates! 395 hp and 293 tq on a Dyno Dynamics. The googles (and tuner) said they read pretty low compared to dynojets.

So I had 323 hp on the baseline pull with the stillen tune. It was running at an afr of 9:1 WOT..... Thanks a bunch stillen, that is some horse s***.

The car feels great now and I'm pretty happy with it. Got my summer tires back on. Oil cooler installed. Spl diff bushings going in this week. Heading to The Dragon this weekend!!
